Answer to Question 1

ANS: c
Feedback
a. Decreased maternalfetal exchange results in late decelerations.
b. Umbilical cord occlusion results in variable deceleration or bradycardia.
c. Early decelerations are related to increased intracranial pressure due to head compression.
d. Compression of the umbilical cord results in variable decelerations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: a
Feedback
a. Minimal or absent baseline variability may be an indication of fetal hypoxia.
b. This answer describes early decelerations that are not an indication of fetal intolerance of labor.
c. Periodic accelerations are a sign of fetal well-being.
d. A baseline variability of 6 to 25 bpm is normal.
