NCC EFM test 1

NCC EFM test 1
Variable decelerations are thought to be caused by:
A. Fetal head compression
B. Umbilical cord compression
c. Uteroplacental insufficiency - ANS-B. Umbilical cord compression

An appropriate treatment for recurrent variable decelerations with moderate variability
during second stage pushing is:
A. Amnioinfusion
B. Modification of pushing efforts
C. Oxygen at 10 liters per nonrebreather face mask. - ANS-B. Modification of pushing
efforts

The Primary purpose of the use of electronic fetal monitoring is to:
A. Determine if the fetus is well oxygenated
B. Document fetal status throughout labor
C. Identify the fetus at risk - ANS-C. Identify the fetus at risk

An EFM tracing with fetal heart rate of 170 beats per minute and moderate variability
would be classified as:
A. Abnormal (category III)
B. Indeterminate (category II)
C. Normal (category I) - ANS-B. Indeterminate (category II)

When variability is undetectable, it is identified as:
A. Absent
B. Decreased
C. Indeterminate - ANS-A. Absent

When periodic fetal heart rate patterns occur, they:
A. Are associated with uterine contractions
B. Are classified as indeterminate
C. Require a fetal spiral electrode for accurate determination. - ANS-A. Are associated
with uterine contractions

Interpretation and classification of fetal heart rate patterns are determined:
A. Are associated with uterine contractions
B. Based on EFM findings observed for a 60 minute period of time.
