The nurse is teaching a class on reading a fetal monitor to nursing students.
 
  The nurse explains that bradycardia is a fetal heart rate baseline below 110 and can be caused by which of the following? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply. 1. Maternal hypotension
  2. Prolonged umbilical cord compression
  3. Fetal dysrhythmia
  4. Central nervous system malformation
  5. Late fetal asphyxia

Question 2

Student nurses in their obstetrical rotation are learning about fertilization and implantation.
 
  The process of implantation is characterized by which statements? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply. 1. The trophoblast attaches itself to the surface of the endometrium.
  2. The most frequent site of attachment is the lower part of the anterior uterine wall.
  3. Between days 7 and 10 after fertilization, the zona pellucida disappears, and the blastocyst implants itself by burrowing into the uterine lining.
  4. The lining of the uterus thins below the implanted blastocyst.
  5. The cells of the trophoblast grow down into the uterine lining, forming the chorionic villi.

Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. Maternal hypotension results in decreased blood flow to the fetus.
2. Cord compression can cause fetal bradycardia.
3. This will cause fetal bradycardia if there is a fetal heart block.
5. This is a depression of myocardial activity.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. During implantation, the trophoblast attaches itself to the surface of the endometrium for further nourishment.
3. Between days 7 and 10 after fertilization, the zona pellucida disappears, and the blastocyst implants itself by burrowing into the uterine lining and penetrating down toward the maternal capillaries until it is completely covered.
5. The cells of the trophoblast grow down into the thickened lining, forming the chorionic villi.
