NUR 202 exam 1 OB (100 out of 100) Questions
and Answers (Already GRADED A)


Maternal and Fetal Monitoring Exam


1. Leopold’s maneuver consists of how many steps?

Answer: 4

2. If the baby is in a left occiput anterior (LOA) position, where would you place the

fetal monitor on the mother’s abdomen?

Answer: Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)

3. What is the term for a fetal heart rate (FHR) less than 110 beats per minute for at

least 10 minutes?

Answer: Fetal bradycardia

4. What is the cause of early decelerations in FHR?

Answer: Head compression

5. What is the priority nursing intervention for variable decelerations?

Answer: Reposition the mother. The baby may be compressing the umbilical cord.

6. What does a late deceleration indicate?

Answer: Deoxygenation (HR decreases after the peak of a contraction)

7. What is the purpose of fetal surveillance?

Answer: To evaluate how the fetus tolerates labor and to identify potential hypoxic insult

to the fetus during labor.

, 8. Where does the fetus receive oxygen from?

Answer: The placenta

9. True or False: Reductions in the mother’s circulating blood volume reduce

perfusion of the intervillous spaces with oxygenated maternal blood.

Answer: True

10. List conditions that may reduce perfusion of the intervillous spaces with oxygenated

maternal blood.

Answer: Hemorrhage, epidural block causing hypotension, maternal hypertension,

lowered oxygen levels, maternal acid-base imbalance, asthma, pulmonary infection,

smoking.

11. True or False: Dilation is dependent on the pressure of the presenting part and the

contraction and retraction of the uterus.

Answer: True

12. Describe hypertonic uterine activity.

Answer: Contractions lasting over 90-120 seconds, occurring too frequently (closer than

every 2 minutes), or allowing less than 30 seconds of complete relaxation.

13. What can oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid) cause in relation to the umbilical

cord?

Answer: Cord compression due to inadequate fluid to cushion the cord.

14. What effect do fetal hypoxia, cord compression, or placental detachment have on

FHR?

Answer: They cause bradycardia (a decrease in FHR).
