Exam 15: Fetal Assessment During Labor

MATCHING Fetal well-being in labor can be measured by the response of the FHR to uterine contractions. Please match the characteristic of normal uterine activity during labor with the correct description. -Generally ranging from two to five contractions per 10 minutes of labor.

MATCHING Fetal well-being in labor can be measured by the response of the FHR to uterine contractions. Please match the characteristic of normal uterine activity during labor with the correct description. -Peaking at 40 to 70 mm Hg in the first stage of labor.

MATCHING Fetal well-being in labor can be measured by the response of the FHR to uterine contractions. Please match the characteristic of normal uterine activity during labor with the correct description. -Remaining fairly stable throughout the first and second stages.

The nurse providing care for the laboring woman should understand that amnioinfusion is used to treat:

The nurse caring for the laboring woman should understand that early decelerations are caused by:

During labor a fetus with an average heart rate of 135 beats/min over a 10-minute period would be considered to have:

Which fetal heart rate (FHR)finding would concern the nurse during labor?

In assisting with the two factors that have an effect on fetal status (i.e.,pushing and positioning),nurses should:

A nurse may be called on to stimulate the fetal scalp:

While evaluating an external monitor tracing of a woman in active labor,the nurse notes that the fetal heart rate (FHR)for five sequential contractions begins to decelerate late in the contraction,with the nadir of the decelerations occurring after the peak of the contraction.The nurse's first priority is to:

What is an advantage of external electronic fetal monitoring?

Which maternal condition is considered a contraindication for the application of internal monitoring devices?

When assessing the relative advantages and disadvantages of internal and external electronic fetal monitoring,nurses comprehend that both:

Which deceleration of the fetal heart rate would not require the nurse to change the maternal position?

Fetal well-being during labor is assessed by:

MATCHING Fetal well-being in labor can be measured by the response of the FHR to uterine contractions. Please match the characteristic of normal uterine activity during labor with the correct description. -Commonly 45 seconds or more in the second stage of labor.

The nurse providing care for the laboring woman realizes that variable fetal heart rate (FHR)decelerations are caused by:

The nurse caring for the woman in labor should understand that increased variability of the fetal heart rate may be caused by:
