Intermediate Fetal Monitoring Exam
The following are components of the basic assessment for maternal and fetal
well-being: - ANS--maternal vital signs and physical exam
-leopold maneuvers and fetal assessment
-labor and membrane status
A comprehensive maternal-fetal physical assessment is necessary to assess maternal
oxygenation, build the maternal-fetal data base, and optimize clinical decisions. -
ANS-TRUE
Decreased umbilical blood flow stimulates the chemoreceptors and/or baroreceptors,
increasing catecholamine production leading to an increase in blood flow to the
essential organs, including: - ANS--adrenals
-brain
-heart
A systematic assessment of the fetal heart rate tracing includes: - ANS-Baseline rate,
variability, periodic/episodic changes, uterine activity
The only true method of contraction strength assessment when using external fetal
monitors is through: - ANS-palpation
Recurrent decelerations - ANS-Occur with ≥ 50% of contractions in a 20-minute period.
Variable decelerations may occur: - ANS-With or without a contraction (periodic or
episodic)
The decelerations that may be found in a Category 1 tracing are: - ANS-early
