Answer to Question 1

A
The normal preterm fetus may have a baseline rate slightly higher than the term fetus because of an immature parasympathetic nervous system that does not yet exert a slowing effect on the fetal heart rate (FHR).
Any change in the FHR with an epidural is not considered an expected outcome.
Fast labors should not alter the FHR normally.
Preeclampsia should not cause a normal elevation of the FHR.

Answer to Question 2

C
