Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. Altered fetal cerebral blood flow results in early decelerations in the FHR.
2. Incorrect. Fetal hypoxemia would be evident by tachycardia initially then bradycardia. There may be a persistent decrease or loss of FHR variability.
3. Incorrect. Umbilical cord compression results in variable decelerations of the FHR.
4. Correct. A temporary decrease in variability can occur when the fetus is in a sleep state. These sleep states do not usually last longer than 30 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

4
1. Incorrect. Delayed pushing is encouraged for several reasons.
2. Incorrect. The rates of episiotomies are declining.
3. Incorrect. Midwives perform fewer episiotomies than doctors do.
4. Correct. Breastfeeding is encouraged for newborns immediately after birth.
