AWHONN INTERMEDIATE FETAL
MONITORING COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
STUDY GUIDE COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS
●● infection, low o2, young
Answer: what could it mean if FHR is high
●● post date pregnancy
Answer: what could it mean if FHR is low
●● sonogram
Answer: what is the number one way to know a babies age
●● amnioinfusion
Answer: what do you do if theres low amniotic fluid, variable decels
●● kidneys, low urine output, low amniotic fluid
Answer: if baby is stressed, the baby will divert the blood flow to the
brain, heart, and adrenals. this organ won't get good blood flow which
will lead to what?
,●● 2
Answer: what category tracing is absent variability without decels
●● 3
Answer: what category tracing is absent variability with decels
●● extrinsic
Answer: influences on fetal heart patterns that are outside the fetus
●● extrinsic
Answer: what type of influences are associated with maternal-fetal
exchange:
-placenta
-maternal utero placental circulation
-fetal placental circulation
-placental transfer
-uterine blood flow
-umbilical cord
-amniotic fluid
●● intervillous space
Answer: ALL transfer takes place here
, ●● transient hypoxemia
Answer: all babies have this with uterine contraction but it's worse with
a problematic placenta
●● cord compression
Answer: when is the only time you give an amnioinfusion
●● intrinsic
Answer: influences on fetal heart rate that are inside the babies heart
●● ductus venosus, liver
Answer: where is the most oxygenated blood
●● foramen ovale
Answer: where does the blood go to avoid the lungs
●● moderate variability
Answer: if the baby has this, then they DO NOT have metabolic acidosis
●● infection, movement , loud noise, repositioning
Answer: what would cause a sympathetic response (things speed up,
accelerations)
