Decision-Making | Updated Questions and Answers
normal fetal heart rate range - (CORRECT ANSWER)110-160
what could it mean if FHR is high - (CORRECT ANSWER)infection, low o2, young
what could it mean if FHR is low - (CORRECT ANSWER)post date pregnancy
what is the number one way to know a babies age - (CORRECT ANSWER)sonogram
what do you do if theres low amniotic fluid, variable decels - (CORRECT ANSWER)amnioinfusion
if baby is stressed, the baby will divert the blood flow to the brain, heart, and adrenals. this organ won't
get good blood flow which will lead to what? - (CORRECT ANSWER)kidneys, low urine output, low
amniotic fluid
what category tracing is absent variability without decels - (CORRECT ANSWER)2
what category tracing is absent variability with decels - (CORRECT ANSWER)3
influences on fetal heart patterns that are outside the fetus - (CORRECT ANSWER)extrinsic
what type of influences are associated with maternal-fetal exchange:
-placenta
-maternal utero placental circulation
-fetal placental circulation
-placental transfer
, 2
-uterine blood flow
-umbilical cord
-amniotic fluid - (CORRECT ANSWER)extrinsic
ALL transfer takes place here - (CORRECT ANSWER)intervillous space
all babies have this with uterine contraction but it's worse with a problematic placenta - (CORRECT
ANSWER)transient hypoxemia
when is the only time you give an amnioinfusion - (CORRECT ANSWER)cord compression
influences on fetal heart rate that are inside the babies heart - (CORRECT ANSWER)intrinsic
where is the most oxygenated blood - (CORRECT ANSWER)ductus venosus, liver
where does the blood go to avoid the lungs - (CORRECT ANSWER)foramen ovale
if the baby has this, then they DO NOT have metabolic acidosis - (CORRECT ANSWER)moderate
variability
what would cause a sympathetic response (things speed up, accelerations) - (CORRECT
ANSWER)infection, movement , loud noise, repositioning
