Fetal bradycardia is most common during:
a.
Intraamniotic infection.
b.
Fetal anemia.
c.
Prolonged umbilical cord compression.
d.
Tocolytic treatment using terbutaline. - answer ✅✅ANS: C
, Fetal bradycardia can be considered a later sign of fetal hypoxia and
is known to occur before fetal death. Bradycardia can result from
placental transfer of drugs, prolonged compression of the umbilical
cord, maternal hypothermia, and maternal hypotension.
Intraamniotic infection, fetal anemia, and tocolytic treatment using
terbutaline would most likely result in fetal tachycardia.
While evaluating an external monitor tracing of a woman in active
labor, the nurse notes that the fetal heart rate (FHR) for five
sequential contractions begins to decelerate late in the contraction,
with the nadir of the decelerations occurring after the peak of the
contraction. The nurses first priority is to:
a.
Change the womans position.
c.
Assist with amnioinfusion.
b.
Notify the care provider.
d.
Insert a scalp electrode. - answer ✅✅ANS: A
Late decelerations may be caused by maternal supine hypotension
syndrome. They usually are corrected when the woman turns on her
side to displace the weight of the gravid uterus from the vena cava.
