Incorrect: A nuchal cord (cord around the neck) is associated with variable decelerations, not late decelerations. Incorrect: Variable decelerations (not late decelerations) are associated with cord compression. Incorrect: Late decelerations are a result of hypoxia.

Repeated late decelerations indicate fetal distress. The umbilical cord is wrapped tightly around the fetus' neck
