NSG-432 Exam 1 QUESTIONS N
CORRECT ANSWERS
Fetoscope - correct answer ✔✔ noninvasive monitoring device to evaluate the fetal heart rate.
It uses bone conduction to amplify fetal heart sounds to the listener.
Uterine palpation - correct answer ✔✔ used to assess uterine contractions
Doppler ultrasound - correct answer ✔✔ noninvasive tool used to evaluate the fetal heart rate.
It transmits the fetal heart rate audibly and displays the heart rate in beats/min.
Fetal scalp electrode - correct answer ✔✔ invasive method of monitoring fetal heart rate.
Intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) - correct answer ✔✔ invasive method for monitoring the
pressure of the uterus during contractions and resting periods
tocodynamometer - correct answer ✔✔ detects pressure changes of the abdomen to detect
contractions (frequency and duration)
transducer-tip pressure catheter - correct answer ✔✔ has an extra lumen for amnioinfusion
(One common indication for amnioinfusion is umbilical cord compression. Instillation of sterile
fluid often relieves the compression.)
education would the nurse provide a patient who is worried that the intrauterine catheter will
hurt the baby? - correct answer ✔✔ "The catheter is placed in the uterus next to the baby."
