Which of the following e. All of the above
factors can have a negative
effect on uterine blood
flow?
a. Hypertension
b. Epidural
c. Hemorrhage
d. Diabetes
e. All of the above
How does the fetus b. Increases cardiac output by increasing it's heart rate.
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.
Stimulating the vagus nerve a. A decrease in the heart rate
typically produces:
a. A decrease in the heart
rate
b. An increase in the heart
rate
c. An increase in stroke
volume
d. No change
,What initially causes a g. C & D
chemoreceptor response?
a. Epidurals
b. Supine maternal position
c. Increased CO2 levels
d. Decreased O2 levels
e. A & C
f. A & B
g. C & D
The vagus nerve begins b. Decreases baseline
maturation 26 to 28 weeks.
Its dominance results in
what effect to the FHR
baseline?
a. Increases baseline
b. Decreases baseline
T/F: Oxygen exchange in True
the placenta takes place in
the intervillous space.
T/F: The parasympathetic False
nervous system is a
cardioaccelerator.
T/F: Baroreceptors are True
stretch receptors which
respond to increases or
decreases in blood
pressure.
T/F: There are two True
electronic fetal monitoring
methods of obtaining the
fetal heart rate: the
ultrasound transducer and
the fetal spiral electrode.
, T/F: Variability can be False
determined with the
fetoscope.
T/F: Because the ultrasound False
transducer and toco
transducer are sealed units,
they can be dipped in warm
water to make cleaning
easier.
T/F: The most common True
artifact with the ultrasound
transducer system for fetal
heart rate is increased
variability.
T/F: All fetal monitors True
contain a logic system
designed to reject artifact.
T/F: The monitor should True
always be tested before
starting a tracing, either
external or internal mode
and labeled a test.
T/F: The paper speed on False
the fetal monitor should
always be set at 1cm/min.
T/F: Both internal and False
external monitoring
methods are equally
accurate means of
obtaining the fetal heart
rate and contraction
patterns.
