Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A To apply internal monitoring devices, the membranes must be ruptured.
B Cervical dilation of 4 cm permits the insertion of fetal scalp electrodes and
intrauterine catheter.
C The external monitor can be discontinued after the internal ones are applied.
D A compromised fetus should be monitored with the most accurate monitoring
devices.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Periodic accelerations occur with uterine contractions (UCs) and usually are seen with breech presentations. Episodic accelerations occur during fetal movement and are indications of fetal well-being.
B Preterm accelerations peak at 10 beats/min above the baseline and last for at least 10 seconds, not 15 seconds.
C Periodic accelerations occur with UCs and usually are seen with breech presen-tations. Episodic accelerations occur during fetal movement and are indications of fetal well-being.
D They may resemble the shape of the uterine contraction or may be spikelike.
