Q1.
A patient at 39 weeks gestation presents with a Category II tracing showing minimal
variability and late decelerations. The nurse administers a fluid bolus and positions the
patient lateral. Which additional intervention is MOST appropriate to improve fetal
oxygenation before considering operative delivery?
A. Administer terbutaline to reduce uterine B. Increase the rate of oxytocin infusion
activity
C. Apply fetal scalp electrode for internal D. Prepare for immediate cesarean delivery
monitoring
Correct: A - Administer terbutaline to reduce uterine activity
Rationale:In the setting of late decelerations and minimal variability, reducing uterine
contractions (via tocolysis) can improve uteroplacental perfusion. Increasing oxytocin would
worsen decelerations. Fetal scalp electrode provides better monitoring but does not improve
oxygenation. Operative delivery is not the first step unless other measures fail.
Q2.
A term fetus exhibits an FHR pattern with absent variability and no decelerations. Which
physiological mechanism is the MOST likely explanation for this pattern?
A. Fetal sleep cycle with normal oxygenation B. Central nervous system depression due
to hypoxia
C. Maternal administration of narcotics D. Fetal tachycardia from maternal fever
Correct: B - Central nervous system depression due to hypoxia
Rationale:Absent variability without decelerations can indicate fetal CNS depression due to
hypoxia or acidosis. Fetal sleep typically shows minimal variability but not absent. Narcotics
may cause decreased variability but usually with other signs. Tachycardia alone does not
cause absent variability.
Q3.
Which of the following is a key limitation of the STAN (ST segment analysis) technology
when used in conjunction with traditional EFM?
A. It cannot detect ST segment elevation B. It requires fetal scalp electrode and is not
useful in early labor with intact membranes
