Ultrasound transducer - correct answer ✔✔ Device used to monitor fetal heart rate
Toc transducer - correct answer ✔✔ Device used to detect contractions
Frequency - correct answer ✔✔ How often contractions are occurring
Duration - correct answer ✔✔ How long contractions are lasting
Nose - correct answer ✔✔ Mild contractions would feel like what body part?
Chin - correct answer ✔✔ Moderate contractions would feel like what body part?
Forehead - correct answer ✔✔ Strong contractions would feel like what body part?
60-90 seconds - correct answer ✔✔ Normal contraction duration
110-160 - correct answer ✔✔ Normal fetal heart rate
- Maternal fever
- Infection
- Fetal anemia
, - Medications - correct answer ✔✔ What causes fetal tachycardia? (> 160)
- Fetal cardiac problem
- Viral infections
- Maternal hypoglycemia
- Maternal hypothermia - correct answer ✔✔ What causes fetal bradycardia? (< 110)
Absent - correct answer ✔✔ No fluctuation in fetal heart rate
Minimal - correct answer ✔✔ Fluctuation of 1-5 bpm in fetal heart rate on strip. Commonly
occurs when baby is sleeping
Moderate - correct answer ✔✔ Fluctuation of 5-25 bpm in fetal heart rate on strip. Normal.
Marked - correct answer ✔✔ Fluctuation of > 25 bpm on fetal heart rate strip. Not able to view
any abseline, accelerations, or decelerations
Sinusoidal - correct answer ✔✔ Wave-like fetal heart rate
- Narcotics
- Fatal anemia
(Do a drug screen. If comes back -, then C/S is performed to fix anemia) - correct answer ✔✔
What are causes of a sinusoidal fetal heart rate wave form?
Accelerations - correct answer ✔✔ Abrupt increase in FHR 15bpm above baseline lasting
between 15 seconds and 2 minutes. THESE ARE NORMAL AND GOOD
