Electronic Fetal Monitoring PracticeQuestions
A nurse is explaining to a pregnant patient the purpose of electronic fetal monitoring.
Which of the following statements by the nurse is the most accurate way to describe the
purpose of EFM?
a. "EFM is a diagnostic procedure that monitors your baby's heart rate or FHR and your
uterine contractions.
b. "EFM is a screening procedure that monitors your baby's heart rate or FHR and your
uterine contractions."
c."EFM is a screening procedure that only monitors your baby's heart rate or FHR."
d. "EFM is a diagnostic procedure that only monitors the frequency, duration, and
intensity of your uterine contractions." - ANS-b. "EFM is a screening procedure that
monitors your baby's heart rate or FHR and your uterine contractions."
The nurse measures fetal well being during labor by paying attention to:
a. the response of the FHR to uterine contractions
b. mom's complaint of pain during the labor
c. the FHR only
d. the frequency, duration, and intensity of the mother's uterine contractions only -
ANS-a. the response of the FHR to uterine contractions
A nursing student explains during her presentation that the 5 factors for adequate fetal
oxygenation include:
1. normal maternal __________ _________and volume to the placenta
2. normal ___________ ___________in the maternal blood
3. adequate exchange of ___________ and CO2 in the placenta
4. an open ___________path between the placenta and the fetus through vessels in the
umbillical cord
5. normal fetal circulatory and ____________ -carry functions - ANS-1. normal maternal
blood flow and volume to placenta
2. normal oxygen saturation in the maternal blood
3. adequate exchange of oxygen and CO2 in the palcenta
4. an open circulatory path between the placenta and the fetus through vessels in the
umbillical cord
5. normal fetal circulatory and oxygen-carrying functions
, While monitoring a baby's fetal well being using EFM, the nurse recognizes that the
baby's baseline fetal heart rate is identified as the:
a. average rate of a 30 minute segment that excludes periodic or episodic changes
b. average rate of a 10 minute segment that excludes periodic or episodic changes
c. average rate of a 20 minute segment that does not include periodic or episodic

A nurse determines that term baby's baseline fetal heart rate is 140 beats per minute. A
nurse explains to her patient that this fetal heart rate is:
a. abnormal because it is not in the normal range of 90-100 bears perm minute for a
term or post term fetus
b. normal because it is in the range of 110-160 bpm for a term or post term fetus
c. abnormal because it is not in the normal range of 160-200 bpm for a term or post
term fetus - ANS-b. normal because it is in the range of 110-160 bpm for a term or post
term fetus
The nurse documents that the baseline heart rate for a fetus is between 120-160 beats
per minute. Based on this finding, the nurse can determine that the fetus is:
a. post term
b. term
c. premature
d. both a and b - ANS-c. premature
While keeping track of a patient's uterine contractions, the nurse documents that the

occurring too frequently at quicker than every 2 minutes. The nurse is measuring which
of the following aspects of a uterine contraction?
a. duration
b. frequency
c. intensity
d. resting tone or interval - ANS-b. frequency
One of the maternal nurses explains to a nursing student that the duration of a
contraction, which is measured from the beginning to the end of one contraction, usually
