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
b. Decreases baseline
T/F: Oxygen exchange in the placenta takes place in the intervillous space.
True
T/F: The parasympathetic nervous system is a cardioaccelerator.
B. Parasympathetic nervous system
What would be a suspected pH in a fetus whose FHTs included recurrent late
decelerations during labor?
A. 7.10
B. 7.26
C. 7.32
D. 7.41
, A. 7.10
What is the most common cause of sinusoidal patterns?
A. Prolapsed cord
B. Rh incompatibility
C. Recurrent late decelerations
D. Oligohydramnios
B. Rh incompatibility
Before weeks of gestation, an increase in FHR that peaks at least 10 bpm
above the baseline and lasts at least 10 seconds is considered an acceleration. A.
28
B. 30
C. 32
D. 36
C. 32
The expected response of the fetal heart rate to active fetal movement of a 31-week
gestational age fetus is:
a. Suppression of normal short term variability for 15 seconds
b. Acceleration of at least 15 beats per minute for 15 seconds
c. Acceleration followed by a 15-second deceleration of the heart rate
d. Acceleration of at least 10 beats per minute for 10 seconds
d. Acceleration of at least 10 beats per minute for 10 seconds
The nurse notes a pattern of variable decelerations to 75 bpm on the fetal monitor. The
initial nursing action is to: a. Reposition the woman b. Administer oxygen
c. Increase the intravenous fluid infusion
d. Stimulate the fetal scalp
a. Reposition the woman
The tocotransducer should be placed: a.
In the suprapubic area b. In the fundal
area
c. Over the xiphoid process
d. Within the uterus
b. In the fundal area
The nurse notes a pattern of decelerations on the fetal monitor that begins shortly after
the contraction and returns to baseline just before the contraction is over. The correct
nursing response is to:
a. Give the woman oxygen by facemask at 8-10 L/min
b. Position the woman on her opposite side
c. Increase the rate of the woman's intravenous fluid
d. Continue to observe and record the normal pattern
d. Continue to observe and record the normal pattern
Determining the FHR baseline requires the nurse to approximate the mean FHR
rounded to increments of 5 bpm during a -minute window (excluding accelerations
and decelerations).
