c. Increases cardiac output by increasing fetal movement. - (CORRECT ANSWER)b. Increases
cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate.
Stimulating the vagus nerve typically produces:
a. A decrease in the heart rate
b. An increase in the heart rate
c. An increase in stroke volume
d. No change - (CORRECT ANSWER)a. A decrease in the heart rate

g. C & D - (CORRECT ANSWER)g. C & D
The vagus nerve begins maturation 26 to 28 weeks. Its dominance results in what effect to the
FHR baseline?
a. Increases baseline
b. Decreases baseline - (CORRECT ANSWER)b. Decreases baseline
T/F: Oxygen exchange in the placenta takes place in the intervillous space. - (CORRECT
ANSWER)True
T/F: The parasympathetic nervous system is a cardioaccelerator. - (CORRECT ANSWER)False
T/F: Baroreceptors are stretch receptors which respond to increases or decreases in blood
pressure. - (CORRECT ANSWER)True
,T/F: There are two electronic fetal monitoring methods of obtaining the fetal heart rate: the
ultrasound transducer and the fetal spiral electrode. - (CORRECT ANSWER)True
T/F: Variability can be determined with the fetoscope. - (CORRECT ANSWER)False
T/F: Because the ultrasound transducer and toco transducer are sealed units, they can be dipped
in warm water to make cleaning easier. - (CORRECT ANSWER)False
T/F: The most common artifact with the ultrasound transducer system for fetal heart rate is
increased variability. - (CORRECT ANSWER)True
T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system designed to reject artifact. - (CORRECT
ANSWER)True
T/F: The monitor should always be tested before starting a tracing, either external or internal
mode and labeled a test. - (CORRECT ANSWER)True
T/F: The paper speed on the fetal monitor should always be set at 1cm/min. - (CORRECT
ANSWER)False
T/F: Both internal and external monitoring methods are equally accurate means of obtaining the
fetal heart rate and contraction patterns. - (CORRECT ANSWER)False
T/F: The external toco is usually placed over the uterine fundus to pick up contractions. -
(CORRECT ANSWER)True
, T/F: The external toco gives measurable uterine pressure. - (CORRECT ANSWER)False
T/F: The fetal spiral electrode can be placed when vaginal bleeding of unknown origin is present.
- (CORRECT ANSWER)False
T/F: The ultrasound transducer is usually placed on the side of the uterus over the baby's back, as
the fetal heart is heard best there. - (CORRECT ANSWER)True
T/F: The spiral electrode is used to more accurately determine the frequency, duration, and
intensity of uterine contractions. - (CORRECT ANSWER)False
T/F: The heart rate from a well-applied fetal spiral electrode can only be fetal, not maternal. -
(CORRECT ANSWER)False
T/F: The intrauterine catheter is used to pick up the fetal heart rate. - (CORRECT
ANSWER)False
T/F: The internal spiral electrode may pick up the maternal heart rate if the baby has died. -
(CORRECT ANSWER)True
T/F: Fetal arrhythmias can be seen on both internal and external monitor tracings. - (CORRECT
ANSWER)True
