  c. Uteroplacental insufficiency.
  d. Meconium fluid.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Altered fetal cerebral blood flow would result in early decelerations in the FHR.
B Umbilical cord compression would result in variable decelerations in the FHR.
C Uteroplacental insufficiency would result in late decelerations in the FHR.
D Meconium-stained fluid may or may not produce changes in the fetal heart rate, depending on the gestational age of the fetus and whether other causative factors associated with fetal distress are present.

Answer to Question 2

136
Rationale: 6.8 x 20 mg = 136 mg/day.
