Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The FHR at term ranges from a low of 110 to 120 beats/min to a high of 150 to 160 beats/min. This should be recorded as normal. The FHR drops in the late stages of pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The fetal heartbeat can be detected as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy using a Doppler device.
