|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




monitoring. - correct answer✔✔True |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




T/F: The presence of FHR accelerations in the intrapartum and antepartum periods is a sign of
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




adequate fetal oxygenation. - correct answer✔✔True |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




T/F: Variable decelerations are a vagal response. - correct answer✔✔True
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




T/F: Late decelerations have a gradual decrease in FHR (onset to nadir 30 seconds) and are
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




delayed in timing with the nadir of the deceleration occurring after the peak of the contraction.

- correct answer✔✔True
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
