How does the fetus compensate for decreased maternal circulating volume? a. Increases cardiac output by increasing stroke volume. b. Increases cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate. c. Increases cardiac output by increasing fetal movement.: b. Increases cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate. 3. Stimulating the vagus nerve typically produces: a.

Epidurals b. Supine maternal position c. Increased CO2 levels d. Decreased O2 levels e. A & C f. A & B g. C & D: g. C & D 5. 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 6. T/F: Oxygen exchange in the placenta takes place in the intervillous space.- : True 7. T/F: The parasympathetic nervous system is a cardioaccelerator.: False 8. T/F: Baroreceptors are stretch receptors which respond to increases or decreases in blood pressure.: True 9. T/F: There are two electronic fetal monitoring methods of obtaining the fetal heart rate: the ultrasound transducer and the fetal spiral electrode.: True 10. T/F: Variability can be determined with the fetoscope.: False 11. T/F: Because the ultrasound transducer and toco transducer are sealed units, they can be dipped in warm water to make cleaning easier.: False 1 / 58 NCC Electronic Fetal Monitoring Certification 12. T/F: The most common artifact with the ultrasound transducer system for fetal heart rate is increased variability.: True 13. T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system designed to reject artifact.: - True 14. T/F: The monitor should always be tested before starting a tracing, either external or internal mode and labeled a test.: True 15. T/F: The paper speed on the fetal monitor should always be set at 1cm/min.- : False 16. T/F: Both internal and external monitoring methods are equally accurate means of obtaining the fetal heart rate and contraction patterns.: False 17. T/F: The external toco is usually placed over the uterine fundus to pick up contractions.: True 18. T/F: The external toco gives measurable uterine pressure.: False 19. T/F: The fetal spiral electrode can be placed when vaginal bleeding of unknown origin is present.: False 20. T/F: The ultrasound transducer is usually placed on the side of the uterus over the baby's back, as the fetal heart is heard best there.: True 21. T/F: The spiral electrode is used to more accurately determine the frequency, duration, and intensity of uterine contractions.: False 22. T/F: The heart rate from a well-applied fetal spiral electrode can only be fetal, not maternal.: False 23. T/F: The intrauterine catheter is used to pick up the fetal heart rate.: False 24. T/F: The internal spiral electrode may pick up the maternal heart rate if the baby has died.: True 25. T/F: Fetal arrhythmias can be seen on both internal and external monitor tracings.: True 26. T/F: Variability and periodic changes can be detected with both internal and external monitoring.: True 27. T/F: Variable decelerations are a result of cord compression.: True 28. T/F: The presence of FHR accelerations in the intrapartum and antepartum periods is a sign of adequate fetal oxygenation.: True 29. T/F: Variable decelerations are a vagal response.: True 30. T/F: Late decelerations have a gradual decrease in FHR (onset to nadir 30 seconds) and are delayed in timing with the nadir of the deceleration occurring after the peak of the contraction.: True 31. T/F: The fetal heart rate baseline c
