1. A woman in labor is to receive continuous internal electronic fetal monitoring. The
doctorreviews the woman's medical record to ensure which of the following as being
required? A)Intact membranes
B) Cervical dilation of 2 cm or more
C) Floating presenting fetal part
D)A neonatologist to insert the
electrodeFeedback:
For continuous internal electronic fetal monitoring, four criteria must be met: ruptured
membranes,cervical dilation of at least 2 cm, fetal presenting part low enough to allow
placement of the electrode, and a skilled practitioner available to insert the electrode.


2. UNTILL assessing fetal heart rate, the doctor finds a heart rate of 175 bpm, accompanied
by adecrease in variability and late decelerations. Which of the following would the doctor
do next? A)Have the woman change her position.
B) Administer oxygen.
C) Notify the hospital provider.
D)Continue to monitor the pattern every 15
minutes.Feedback:
Fetal tachycardia as evidenced by a fetal heart rate greater than 160 bpm accompanied by a
decrease in variability and late decelerations is an ominous sign indicating the need for
promptintervention. The hospital provider should be notified immediately and then measures
should be instituted such as having the woman lie on her side and administering oxygen. In
this instance, monitoring should be continuous to detect any further changes and evaluate
the effectiveness ofinterventions.


10.A woman in labor has chosen to use hydrotherapy as a method of pain relief. Which
statementby the woman would lead the doctor to suspect that the woman needs additional
tinstructing?

B) I can stay in the bath for as long as I feel comfortable.
C) My cervix should be dilated more than 5 cm before I try using this method.
D) The temperature of the water should be at least 105
F.Feedback:
Hydrotherapy is an effective pain relief method. The water temperature should not exceed
bodytemperature. Therefore, a temperature of 105° F would be too warm. The warmth and
buoyancyhave a relaxing effect and women are encouraged to stay in the bath as long as
they feel comfortable. The woman should be in active labor with cervical dilation greater
than 5 cm.


11.A woman in labor received an opioid close to the time of birth. The doctor would

,assess thenewborn for which of the following?
A) Respiratory depression
B) Urinary retention

aFeedback:
Opioids given close to the time of birth can cause central nervous system depression,
includingrespiratory depression, in the newborn, necessitating the administration of
naloxone. Urinary retention may occur in the woman who received neuraxial opioids.
Abdominal distention is notassociated with opioid administration. Hyporeflexia would
be more commonly associated withcentral nervous system depression due to opioids.

between the umbilicus and the symphysis pubis. The tocotransducer is placed over the
uterine fundus in thearea of greatest contractility.

scalp.Feedback:

of membranes.A spiral electrode is inserted into the fetal presenting part, usually the head.
