_____ are abnormal FHR rhythms associated with disordered impulse formation,
conduction, or both.
A. Arrhythmias
B. Supraventricular tachycardias
C. Dysrhythmias - ANSC. Dysrhythmias
_____ are patterns of abnormal FHR associated with variability in R-to-R intervals, but
with normal P-waves preceding normal QRS complexes.
A. Arrhythmias
B. Complete heart blocks
C. Dysrhythmias – ANS A. Arrhythmias
_____ cord blood sampling is predictive of uteroplacental function.
A. Arterial
B. Venous
C. Maternal - ANSB. Venous
_______ _______ occurs when the HCO3 concentration is higher than normal.
A. Base deficit
B. Base excess
C. Metabolic acidosis - ANSB. Base excess
_______ _______ occurs when the HCO3 concentration is lower than normal.
A. Base deficit
B. Base excess
C. Metabolic acidosis - ANSA. Base deficit
_______ _______ occurs when there is high PCO2 with normal bicarbonate levels.
A. Metabolic acidosis
B. Respiratory acidosis
C. Metabolic alkalosis - ANSB. Respiratory acidosis
_______ _______ occurs when there is low bicarbonate (base excess) in the presence
of normal pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) values.
A. Metabolic acidosis
B. Respiratory acidosis
C. Metabolic alkalosis - ANSA. Metabolic acidosis
_______ denotes an increase in hydrogen ions in the fetal blood.
A. Acidosis
B. Acidemia
,C. Hypercapnia - ANSB. Acidemia
_______ is defined as the energy-consuming process of metabolism. - ANSAnabolism
_______ is defined as the energy-releasing process of metabolism. - ANSCatabolism
(T/F) An internal scalp electrode can solely diagnose a fetal dysrhythmia. - ANSFalse
(T/F) An internal scalp electrode will detect the actual fetal ECG. - ANSTrue
(T/F) Metabolic acidosis is more easily reversible and potentially less detrimental to the
fetus when compared to respiratory acidosis. - ANSFalse
(T/F) Sinus bradycardias, sinus tachycardias, and sinus arrhythmias are all associated
with normal conduction (normal P-waves followed by narrow QRS complexes). -
ANSTrue
(T/F) There is a strong correlation between arterial cord blood gas results and Apgar
scores. - ANSFalse
(T/F) Vibroacoustic stimulation may be less effective for preterm fetuses or when
membranes have been ruptured. - ANSTrue

the umbilical arterial cord blood gas values reflect
A. metabolic acidemia
B. mixed acidemia
C. respiratory acidemia - ANSA. Metabolic acidemia
*** A preterm fetus with persistent supraventricular tachycardia that is not hydropic is
best treated with maternal administration of
A. Digoxin
B. Phenobarbital
C. Terbutaline - ANSA. Digoxin
*** As fetal hypoxia (asphyxia) worsens, the last component of the BPP to disappear is
fetal
A. Breathing
B. Movement
C. Tone - ANSC. Tone
, *** Baseline FHR variability is determined in what amount of time, excluding
accelerations and decelerations?
A. 10 min
B. 20 min
C. 30 min - ANSA. 10 min
*** Regarding the reliability of EFM, there is
A. Good interobserver reliability
B. Good intraobserver reliability
C. Poor interobserver and intraobserver reliability - ANSC. Poor interobserver and
intraobserver reliability
*** The fetus responds to a significant drop of PO2 by
A. Increasing O2 consumption
B. Reducing lactic acid production
C. Shifting blood to vital organs - ANSC. Shifting blood to vital organs

after the contractions for
A. 5-10 sec
B. 15-30 sec
C. 30-60 sec - ANSC. 30-60 sec
***A woman being monitored externally has a suspected fetal arrhythmia. The most
appropriate action is to

B. Turn the logic on if an external monitor is in place
C. Use a Doppler to listen to the ventricular rate - ANSA. Insert a spiral electrode and
turn off the logic
***A woman receives terbutaline for an external version. You may expect what on the
fetal heart tracing?
A. Decrease in variability
B. Increase in baseline
C. No change - ANSB. Increase in baseline
***Betamethasone given to the mother can transiently affect the FHR by
A. Decreasing variability
B. Increasing variability
C. Lowering the baseline - ANSA. Decreasing variability
A 36 week gestation patient is brought to triage by squad after an MVA on her back.

nausea since they put her on the gurney. The most likely cause is
A. Abruptio placenta
B. Preterm labor
