⩥ When the buffer, or base, gets used up due to the need to neutralize
the lactic acid, the results of a fetal blood sample will show:
Answer: an increase in the base deficit (depletion of the base)
⩥ Interruption of oxygen transfer to the fetus may result in the fetal need
for
Answer: buffers
⩥ Two limitations of the ultrasound transducer are
Answer: half-count the fetal heart rate
double-count the fetal heart rate
⩥ The direct fetal electrode (ISL or FSE) records every fetal heart beat,
but it is still possible for it to
Answer: Half count the fetal heart rate if the rate is higher than 180-
200bpm
⩥ The fetal arrhythmia that is of greatest concern is the
Answer: Tachyarrhythmia
, ⩥ Initial changes in FHR pattern that may indicate worsening trend of
hypoxia include
Answer: Deepening of decelerations with a rising baseline rate
⩥ if a tracing has minimal variability and the absence of accelerations on
admission, attempts to assess fetal oxygenation may include:
Answer: Maternal abdominal palpation to stimulate fetus
⩥ During a biophysical profile the fetal response that is the last to be lost
with fetal hypoxia is
Answer: Fetal tone
⩥ If the NST is nonreactive and the amniotic fluid volume is <5cm on
AFI, this may indicate
Answer: Acute fetal hypoxia
⩥ The physiologic goal of interventions are to?
a. Increase uteroplacental perfusion
b. Increase umbilical cord perfusion
c. Promote patient comfort and coping
Answer: Increase umbilical cord perfusion
