1. Which of the following factors can have a negative effect on uterine blood
flow?
a. Hypertension
b. Epidural
c. Hemorrhage
d. Diabetes
e. All of the above - ANSWER ✓ e. All of the above
2. How does the fetus compensate for decreased maternal circulating volume?
a. Increases cardiac output by increasing stroke volume.
b. Increases cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate.
, c. Increases cardiac output by increasing fetal movement. - ANSWER ✓ b.
Increases cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate.
3. Stimulating the vagus nerve typically produces:
a. A decrease in the heart rate
b. An increase in the heart rate
c. An increase in stroke volume
d. No change - ANSWER ✓ a. A decrease in the heart rate
4. What initially causes a chemoreceptor response?
a. Epidurals
b. Supine maternal position
c. Increased CO2 levels
d. Decreased O2 levels
e. A & C
f. A & B
g. C & D - ANSWER ✓ g. C & D
5. The vagus nerve begins maturation 26 to 28 weeks. Its dominance results in
what effect to the FHR baseline?
a. Increases baseline
, b. Decreases baseline - ANSWER ✓ b. Decreases baseline
6. T/F: Oxygen exchange in the placenta takes place in the intervillous space. -
ANSWER ✓ True
7. T/F: The parasympathetic nervous system is a cardioaccelerator. - ANSWER
✓ False
8. T/F: Baroreceptors are stretch receptors which respond to increases or
decreases in blood pressure. - ANSWER ✓ True
9. T/F: There are two electronic fetal monitoring methods of obtaining the fetal
heart rate: the ultrasound transducer and the fetal spiral electrode. - ANSWER
✓ True
10. T/F: Variability can be determined with the fetoscope. - ANSWER ✓ False
11. T/F: Because the ultrasound transducer and toco transducer are sealed units,
they can be dipped in warm water to make cleaning easier. - ANSWER ✓ False
12. T/F: The most common artifact with the ultrasound transducer system for
fetal heart rate is increased variability. - ANSWER ✓ True
, 13. T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system designed to reject artifact. -
ANSWER ✓ True
14. T/F: The monitor should always be tested before starting a tracing, either
external or internal mode and labeled a test. - ANSWER ✓ True
15. T/F: The paper speed on the fetal monitor should always be set at 1cm/min. -
ANSWER ✓ False
16. T/F: Both internal and external monitoring methods are equally accurate
means of obtaining the fetal heart rate and contraction patterns. - ANSWER ✓
False
17. T/F: The external toco is usually placed over the uterine fundus to pick up
contractions. - ANSWER ✓ True
18. T/F: The external toco gives measurable uterine pressure. - ANSWER ✓ False
19. T/F: The fetal spiral electrode can be placed when vaginal bleeding of
unknown origin is present. - ANSWER ✓ False
