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. - CORRECT
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

T/F: Oxygen exchange in the placenta takes place in the intervillous space. -
CORRECT ANSWER-True
T/F: The parasympathetic nervous system is a cardioaccelerator. - CORRECT
ANSWER-False
T/F: Baroreceptors are stretch receptors which respond to increases or
decreases in blood pressure. - CORRECT 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. -
CORRECT ANSWER-True
,T/F: Variability can be determined with the fetoscope. - CORRECT 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. - CORRECT
ANSWER-False
T/F: The most common artifact with the ultrasound transducer system for fetal
heart rate is increased variability. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system designed to reject artifact. -
CORRECT ANSWER-True
T/F: The monitor should always be tested before starting a tracing, either
external or internal mode and labeled a test. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
T/F: In the U.S. the paper speed on the fetal monitor is set at 3cm/min. -
CORRECT ANSWER-True
T/F: Both internal and external monitoring methods are equally accurate
means of obtaining the fetal heart rate and contraction patterns. - CORRECT
ANSWER-False
T/F: The external toco is usually placed over the uterine fundus to pick up
contractions. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
T/F: The fetal spiral electrode can be placed when vaginal bleeding of unknown
origin is present. - CORRECT 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. - CORRECT ANSWER-
True
T/F: The spiral electrode is used to more accurately determine the frequency,
duration, and intensity of uterine contractions. - CORRECT ANSWER-False
T/F: The heart rate from a well-applied fetal spiral electrode can only be fetal,
not maternal. - CORRECT ANSWER-False
T/F: The intrauterine catheter is used to pick up the fetal heart rate. -
CORRECT ANSWER-False
T/F: The internal spiral electrode may pick up the maternal heart rate if the
baby has died. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
T/F: Fetal arrhythmias can be seen on both internal and external monitor
tracings. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
T/F: Variability and periodic changes can be detected with both internal and
external monitoring. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
