AWHONN INTERMEDIATE FETAL MONITORING TEST
AWHONN INTERMEDIATE FETAL MONITORING TEST
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (A+ GRADED 100% VERIFIED)
Which of the following is an extrinsic influence on the FHR? - ANSWER✅ C. Fetal-placental
circulation
The most highly oxygenated blood in fetal circulation is carried by: - ANSWER✅ C. Ductus
venosus
If fetal arterial pressure begins to fall below normal levels: - ANSWER✅ A. Baroreceptors
cause vasoconstriction and increase the FHR
A characteristic of variable decelerations is: - ANSWER✅ B. The onset of the deceleration
is abrupt
Stimulation of the vagus nerve in a healthy fetus will cause: - ANSWER✅ A. A decrease in
the fetal heart rate
What is the baseline rate? - ANSWER✅ B. 145 bpm
What is the correct interpretation? - ANSWER✅ B. Baseline of 160 bpm with recurrent late
decelerations
, AWHONN INTERMEDIATE FETAL MONITORING TEST
What is the primary physiologic goal? - ANSWER✅ B. Maximize oxygenation
Based on the tracing, the most appropriate interventions are: - ANSWER✅ B. Decrease
oxytocin from 14 to 7 mU/min and start a 500-mL IVFB.
Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the tracing? - ANSWER✅ C. The
tracing of uterine activity requires palpation for accurate assessment
The nurse supports maternal coping to appropriately assist Robin because - ANSWER✅ A.
Reducing maternal catecholamine production enhances blood flow to the uterus
Describe the type of variability seen in the majority of the tracing. - ANSWER✅ C. Absent
Identify appropriate interventions to implement based on this tracing. - ANSWER✅ B.
Palpate uterus, adjust toco, assist patient to lateral position.
What does the EFM tracing above and the observed patient assessment raise your suspicion
of? - ANSWER✅ B. Placental abruption
What is the physiologic goal of top priority for Robin? - ANSWER✅ A. Maximize oxygenation
What bedside interventions are important at this time? - ANSWER✅ C. Notify provider of
vaginal bleeding, EFM tracing, and request presence at the bedside.
