Intermediate Fetal Monitoring fully solved 2023/2024

Intermediate Fetal Monitoring Baseline Rate - correct answer -approximate mean FHR rounded to increments of 5bp during a 10 min segment - duration must be at least 2 min. or the baseline for that period is indeterminate Bradycardia - correct answer baseline rate less than 110 bpm Tachycardia - correct answer baseline of greater than 160 bpm Baseline variability - correct answer fluctuations in baseline FHR that are irregular in amplitude and frequency Absent variability - correct answer amplitude range undetectable Minimal variability - correct answer amplitude range undetectable but 5/min Moderate variability - correct answer amplitude ranges 6-25 bpm Marked variability - correct answer amplitude range greater than 25 bpm Acceleration - correct answer visually apparent abrupt (30 sec to peak) increase in FHR above baseline for less than 2 minutes -15bpmx15sec for 32 weeks and up -10bpmx10sec for less than 32 weeks Prolonged Acceleration - correct answer acceleration lasting longer than 2 minutes but less than 10 minutes.
