NSG-432 FETAL ASSESSMENT EXAM
WITH CORRECT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025
Monitoring the Fetus Heart uses the - CORRECT-ANSWERSFetal Heart Monitor
Basics for Monitoring - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Uterine activity
- Fetal well-being measured by response of FHR
- To uterine contraction
- Fetal compromise
- Goal of FHR monitoring is to identify non-reassuring patterns that indicate
potential compromise
Monitoring Techniques: - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM)
- External monitoring
- Internal monitoring
- Ultrasound transducer (FHR)- (measures babies HR)
- Tocotransducer (UC): place on top of the fundus (measures contractions)
- Spiral Electrode
- Intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) Montevideo units
What should be used to monitor the intensity of uterine contractions in a pregnant
patient?
Tocotransducer
Spiral Electrode
, Ultrasound transducer
Intrauterine Pressure Catheter (IUPC) - CORRECT-ANSWERSCORRECT: D.
Intrauterine Pressure Catheter (IUPC)
IUPC's measure frequency, duration, and intensity. Measured in Montevideo units
expressed in terms of mmHg. Tocotransducers measure frequency and duration, not the
intensity.
Pawlick Grip - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Stand in front of the mothers symphysis pubis.
- Ask mother to take a deep breath
- You can feel the head
When you place the Fetal Heart rate ultrasounds you want to... - CORRECT-ANSWERS-
In the first 1-2 minutes establish a BASELINE heart rate
- You need 20 minutes of tracing to document the variability
Baseline FHR: - CORRECT-ANSWERS110-160 bpm
The nurse is instructed to count the FHR for 30-60 seconds between contractions via
intermittent auscultation. This helps identify what?
Placental flow
Fetal position
Baseline FHR
Uterine activity - CORRECT-ANSWERSCORRECT: C. Baseline FHR
Can help determine and changes in the pattern of the FHR
The diagnostic test reports that the baseline fetal heart rate is 175 beats/ min. What does
this indicate?
Fetal ischemia
Fetal bradycardia
Fetal tachycardia
Hypotension in the fetus - CORRECT-ANSWERSCORRECT: C. Fetal tachycardia
