Answer to Question 1

2
1. Incorrect. Early deceleration is caused by head compression.
2. Correct. Late deceleration is caused by uteroplacental inefficiency.
3. Incorrect. Variable deceleration is caused by umbilical cord compression.
4. Incorrect. Prolonged deceleration has a variety of either benign or critical causes.

Answer to Question 2

1
1. Correct. Early decelerations (and accelerations) generally do not need any nursing inter-vention.
2. Incorrect. Late decelerations suggest the nurse should change the maternal position (lat-eral); variable decelerations require a maternal position change (side to side) also.
3. Incorrect. Late decelerations suggest the nurse should change the maternal position (lat-eral); variable decelerations require a maternal position change (side to side) also.
4. Incorrect. Although changing positions throughout labor is recommended, it is not re-quired in response to early decelerations.
