NCC Electronic Fetal Monitoring Certification Which of the following factors can have a negative effect on uterine blood flow? a. Hypertension b. Epidural c. Hemorrhage d. Diabetes e. All of the above - correct answer e. All of the above 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. - correct answer b. Increases cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate. Stimulating the vagus nerve typically produces: a. A decrease in the heart rate b. An increase in the heart rate c. An increase in stroke volume d. No change - correct answer a. A decrease in the heart rate What initially causes a chemoreceptor response? a. Epidurals b. Supine maternal position c. Increased CO2 levels d. Decreased O2 levels e. A & C f. A & B g. C & D - correct answer g. C & D 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 - correct answer b. Decreases baseline T/F: Oxygen exchange in the placenta takes place in the intervillous space. - correct answer True T/F: The parasympathetic nervous system is a cardioaccelerator. - correct answer False T/F: Baroreceptors are stretch receptors which respond to increases or decreases in blood pressure. - correct answer True T/F: There are two electronic fetal monitoring methods of obtaining the fetal heart rate: the ultrasound transducer and the fetal spiral electrode. - correct answer True T/F: Variability can be determined with the fetoscope. - correct answer False T/F: Because the ultrasound transducer and toco transducer are sealed units, they can be dipped in warm water to make cleaning easier. - correct answer False T/F: The most common artifact with the ultrasound transducer system for fetal heart rate is increased variability. - correct answer True T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system designed to reject artifact. - correct answer True T/F: The monitor should always be tested before starting a tracing, either external or internal mode and labeled a test. - correct answer True
