flow?
a. Hypertension
b. Epidural
c. Hemorrhage
d. Diabetes
e. All of the above ACCURATE ANSWER>> - e. All of the above
How does the fetus compensate for decreased maternal circulating volume?
a. Increases cardiac output by increasing stroke volume.
b. Increases cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate.
c. Increases cardiac output by increasing fetal movement. ACCURATE
ANSWER>>
- b. Increases cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate.
Stimulating the vagus nerve typically produces:
a. A decrease in the heart rate
b. An increase in the heart rate
c. An increase in stroke volume
d. No change ACCURATE ANSWER>> - a. A decrease in the heart
rate
What initially causes a chemoreceptor response?
a. Epidurals
b. Supine maternal position
c. Increased CO2 levels
d. Decreased O2 levels
e. A & C
f. A & B
g. C & D ACCURATE ANSWER>> - g. C & D
The vagus nerve begins maturation 26 to 28 weeks. Its dominance results in
what effect to the FHR baseline?
a. Increases baseline
b. Decreases baseline ACCURATE ANSWER>> - b. Decreases baseline
T/F: Oxygen exchange in the placenta takes place in the intervillous space.
ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: The parasympathetic nervous system is a cardioaccelerator.
ACCURATE ANSWER>> - False
,T/F: Baroreceptors are stretch receptors which respond to increases or
decreases in blood pressure. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: There are two electronic fetal monitoring methods of obtaining the fetal
heart rate: the ultrasound transducer and the fetal spiral electrode.
ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: Variability can be determined with the fetoscope. ACCURATE
ANSWER>> -False
T/F: Because the ultrasound transducer and toco transducer are sealed units,
they can be dipped in warm water to make cleaning easier. ACCURATE
ANSWER>>
- False
T/F: The most common artifact with the ultrasound transducer system for
fetal heart rate is increased variability. ACCURATE ANSWER>> -
True
T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system designed to reject artifact.
ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: The monitor should always be tested before starting a tracing, either
external or internal mode and labeled a test. ACCURATE ANSWER>>
- True
T/F: The paper speed on the fetal monitor should always be set at 1cm/min.
ACCURATE ANSWER>> - False
T/F: Both internal and external monitoring methods are equally accurate
means of obtaining the fetal heart rate and contraction patterns.
ACCURATE ANSWER>> - False
T/F: The external toco is usually placed over the uterine fundus to pick up
contractions. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: The external toco gives measurable uterine pressure. ACCURATE
ANSWER>> -False
T/F: The fetal spiral electrode can be placed when vaginal bleeding of
unknown origin is present. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - False
T/F: The ultrasound transducer is usually placed on the side of the uterus
over the baby's back, as the fetal heart is heard best there. ACCURATE
ANSWER>>
- True
T/F: The spiral electrode is used to more accurately determine the frequency,
duration, and intensity of uterine contractions. ACCURATE ANSWER>>
- False
,T/F: The heart rate from a well-applied fetal spiral electrode can only be fetal,
not maternal. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - False
T/F: The intrauterine catheter is used to pick up the fetal heart rate.
ACCURATE ANSWER>> - False
T/F: The internal spiral electrode may pick up the maternal heart rate if the
baby has died. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: Fetal arrhythmias can be seen on both internal and external monitor
tracings. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: Variability and periodic changes can be detected with both internal and
external monitoring. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: Variable decelerations are a result of cord compression. ACCURATE
ANSWER>>
- True
T/F: The presence of FHR accelerations in the intrapartum and antepartum
periods is a sign of adequate fetal oxygenation. ACCURATE
ANSWER>> - True
T/F: Variable decelerations are a vagal response. ACCURATE 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. ACCURATE ANSWER>> -
True
T/F: The fetal heart rate baseline can be determined during periods of
marked variability. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - False
T/F: Anything that affects maternal blood flow (cardiac output) can affect the
blood flow through the placenta. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: Variable decelerations are the most frequently seen fetal heart rate
deceleration pattern in labor. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - True
T/F: Minimal variability is always an indicator of hypoxia and a Cesarean
section is indicated. ACCURATE ANSWER>> - False
What is your first intervention in management of a patient experiencing
variable decelerations?
a. Immediate delivery
b. Change maternal position
c. No treatment indicated
d. Oxygen
e. Stop oxytocin infusion ACCURATE ANSWER>> - b. Change maternal
, position
