NCC ELECTRONIC FETAL MONITORING CERTIFICATION VERSION A
Which of the following does not affect the degree of fetal activity?
To be considered reactive, a nonstress test must have:
a.
b.
c.
d.
...ANSWER...d. 2 fetal heart rate accelerations in a 20 minute window
If a nonstress test is nonreactive after 40 minutes, the next step should be:
,d. Admit the client for delivery - ...ANSWER...b. Do a biophysical profile or contraction stress test
All of the following are components of a biophysical profile except:
A modified biophysical profile includes a nonstress test and:
For a contraction stress test to be interpretable, you must have a minimum of:
d. 2 contractions in a 10-minute window - ...ANSWER...b. 3 contractions in a 10 minute window
,d. There is one fetal heart rate deceleration seen -
...ANSWER...c. There are no fetal heart rate late decelerations with the contractions
According to AWHONN, the normal baseline Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) is
What are the two most important characteristics of the FHR?
You recognize that an FHR tracing has been showing a decrease in variability for the last 45 minutes. Your first intervention should
be to
Resuscitation measures improves the baby's variability, but the FHR is still not reactive. You attempt fetal scalp stimulation
(FSE) because you know that a well-oxygenated fetus will respond to FSE with a(n)
, D. Sleep pattern - ...ANSWER...A. Acceleration
You are evaluating a patient in the Prenatal Testing Department who has just completed a biophysical profile (BPP). You suspect
that there could be chronic fetal asphyxia because the score is below
B. 6
C. 8 - ...ANSWER...B. 6
When using a fetal scalp electrode (FSE), you notice an abnormally low FHR on the monitor. You should first
As a result of the intrinsic fetal response to oxygen deprivation, increased catecholamine levels cause the peripheral blood flow to
decrease while the blood flow to vital organs increases. These flow changes along with increased catecholamine secretions have
what effect on fetal blood pressure and fetal heart rate?
All of the following might indicate a pseudosinusoidal pattern as opposed to a sinusoidal pattern, except:
A. Recent administration of narcotics to mother
