AWHONN IEFM TEST (ANSWERED 100% CORRECTLY)
UPDATED
The following are components of the basic assessment for maternal and fetal well-
being.
Maternal vital signs and physical exam
Leopold maneuvers and fetal assessment
Labor Status and membrane status
All of the above - ANSWER-All of the above
A comprehensive maternal-fetal physical assessment is necessary to assess maternal
oxygenation, build the maternal-fetal data base, and optimize clinical decisions.
TRUE
FALSE - ANSWER-True
Extrinsic influences of fetal heart rate patterns include:
Placenta, fetal-placental circulation, fetal circulation
Fetal-placental circulation, amniotic fluid, baroreceptors
Placenta, fetal-placental circulation, umbilical cord
Umbilical cord, amniotic fluid, fetal circulation - ANSWER-Placenta, fetal-placental
circulation, umbilical cord
Intrinsic influence of fetal heart rate patterns include:
Fetal circulation, baroreceptors, fetal-placental circulation
Baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, hormonal responses
Umbilical cord, fetal circulation, hormonal responses
Fetal circulation, chemoreceptors, placenta - ANSWER-Baroreceptors, chemoreceptors,
hormonal responses
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:
a) Adrenals
b) Brain
c) Heart
d) Lungs
e) a, b, and c
f) All of the above - ANSWER-e) a, b, and c
A systematic assessment of the fetal heart rate tracing includes:
Uterine activity, baseline rate, variability, periodic/episodic changes
Variability, periodic/episodic changes, baseline rate, uterine activity
Baseline rate, variability, periodic/episodic changes, uterine activity
