b. An increase in the heart rate
c. An increase in stroke volume
d. No change - ANSWER...a. A decrease in the heart rate
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 - ANSWER...b. Decreases baseline
T/F: The most common artifact with the ultrasound transducer system for fetal
heart rate is increased variability. - ANSWER...True
T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system designed to reject artifact. -
ANSWER...True
T/F: Fetal arrhythmias can be seen on both internal and external monitor tracings. -
ANSWER...True
T/F: Variability and periodic changes can be detected with both internal and
external monitoring. - ANSWER...True
T/F: Variable decelerations are a vagal response. - ANSWER...True
,T/F: Variable decelerations are the most frequently seen fetal heart rate
deceleration pattern in labor. - ANSWER...True
Etiology of a baseline FHR of 165bpm occurring for the last hour can be:
1. Maternal supine hypotension
2. Maternal fever
3. Maternal dehydration
4. Unknown
a. 1 and 2
b. 1, 2 and 3
c. 2, 3 and 4 - ANSWER...c. 2, 3 and 4

d. Uterine anomalies - ANSWER...c. Uteroplacental insufficiency
Which of the following conditions is not an indication for antepartum fetal
surveillance?
a. Gestational hypertension
b. Diabetes in pregnancy
c. Fetus in breech presentation
d. Decreased fetal movement - ANSWER...c. Fetus in breech presentation
Which of the following does not affect the degree of fetal activity?
a. Vibroacoustic stimulation
b. Smoking
c. Fetal position
d. Gestational age - ANSWER...a. Vibroacoustic stimulation
T/F: Umbilical cord influences that can alter blood flow include true knots,
hematomas, and number of umbilical vessels. - ANSWER...True
,T/F: Low amplitude contractions are not an early sign of preterm labor. -
ANSWER...False
T/F: Corticosteroid administration may cause an increase in FHR accelerations. -
ANSWER...False
T/F: Corticosteroid administration may cause an increase in FHR. -
ANSWER...True
T/F: Contractions cause an increase in uterine venous pressure and a decrease in
uterine artery perfusion. - ANSWER...True
As a result of the intrinsic fetal response to oxygen deprivation, increased
catecholamine levels cause the peripheral blood flow to decrease while the blood
flow to vital organs increases. These flow changes along with increased
catecholamine secretions have what effect on fetal blood pressure and fetal heart
rate?
A. Increase BP and increase HR
B. Increase BP and decrease HR
C. Decrease BP and increase HR
D. Decrease BP and decrease HR - ANSWER...B. Increase BP and decrease HR
During a term antepartum NST (non-stress test), you notice several variable
decelerations that decrease at least 15 bpm and last at least 15 sec long. Which of
the following is the least likely explanation?
A. True knot
B. Gestational diabetes
C. Umbilical cord entanglement
D. Oligohydramnios - ANSWER...B. Gestational diabetes

B. Prolapsed cord
C. Maternal hypotension
, D. Maternal fever - ANSWER...D. Maternal fever

A. Magnesium sulfate administration
B. Fetal sleep cycle
C. Narcotic administration
D. Ephedrine administration - ANSWER...D. Ephedrine administration

c. Increase the rate of the woman's intravenous fluid
d. Continue to observe and record the normal pattern - ANSWER...d. Continue to
observe and record the normal pattern
Determining the FHR baseline requires the nurse to approximate the mean FHR
rounded to increments of 5 bpm during a ___-minute window (excluding
accelerations and decelerations).
