[Collmarie]

Accelerations with fetal movement:
 
  1. are reassuring.
  2. are caused by umbilical cord compression.
  3. warrant close observation.
  4. are caused by uteroplacental insufficiency.

Question 2

Early decelerations are caused by:
 
  1. altered fetal cerebral blood flow.
  2. umbilical cord compression.
  3. uteroplacental insufficiency.
  4. spontaneous rupture of membranes.

Answer to Question 1

1
1. Correct. Episodic accelerations of the FHR occur during fetal movement and are indica-tions of fetal well-being.
2. Incorrect. Umbilical cord compression results in variable decelerations of the FHR.
3. Incorrect. Accelerations in the FHR are an indication of fetal well-being and do not war-rant close observation.
4. Incorrect. Uteroplacental insufficiency results in late decelerations of the FHR.

Answer to Question 2

1
1. Correct. Early decelerations are the fetal response to fetal head compression.
2. Incorrect. Variable decelerations are associated with umbilical cord compression.
3. Incorrect. Late decelerations are associated with uteroplacental insufficiency.
4. Incorrect. Spontaneous rupture of membranes has no bearing on FHR unless the umbilical cord prolapses. This would result in variable or prolonged bradycardia.
