AWHONN INTERMEDIATE FETAL
MONITORING TEST QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS(A+ SOLUTION GUIDE)
A comprehensive maternal-fetal physical assessment is necessary to
assess maternal oxygenation, build the maternal-fetal data base, and
optimize clinical decisions. - RIGHT ANSWER -TRUE
A systematic assessment of the fetal heart rate tracing includes: -
RIGHT ANSWER -Baseline rate, variability, periodic/episodic changes,
uterine activity
Decreased umbilical blood flow stimulates the chemoreceptors and/or
baroreceptors, increasing catecholamine production leading to an
increase in blood flow to the essential organs, including: - RIGHT
ANSWER --adrenals,brain,heart
Extrinsic influences of fetal heart rate patterns include: - RIGHT
ANSWER -Placenta, fetal-placental circulation, umbilical cord
Intrinsic influence of fetal heart rate patterns include: - RIGHT ANSWER
-Baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, hormonal responses
Recurrent decelerations - RIGHT ANSWER -Occur with ≥ 50% of
contractions in a 20-minute period.
The decelerations that may be found in a Category 1 tracing are: - RIGHT
ANSWER -early decelerations
