1. Define the fol- mean FHR rounded to the nearest 5 bpm during a 10 minute time period exclud-
lowing terms ac- ing: periodic or episodic changes, periods of marked FHR variability, segments of
cording to NICHD baseline that differ by more than 25 beats per minute;
guidelines: Base-
line

2. What are the Absent: amplitude range undetectable; Minimal: amplitude range detectable but
types of variabil- 5 bpm or fewer; Moderate: amplitude range detectable 6-25 bpm; Marked: am-
ity and describe plitude range greater than 25 bpm
them.

3. Understand the made of nerve fibers in the myocardium, stimulation causes increase in FHR;

iologic mecha-
nisms responsi-

patterns: Sympa-
thetic input

cause(s),
physiologic
and/or
pathophysiolog-
ic mechanism,
and clinical
significance of
