Variability in the fetal heart rate is indicative of
 
  a. a well-oxygenated fetal nervous system
  b. decreased oxygenation of the placenta
  c. fetal distress in utero
  d. pressure on the umbilical cord

Question 2

The nurse is caring for four clients. The client with the highest risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity is the:
 
  1. 30-weeks'-gestation infant who was in an Oxy-Hood for 12 hours and weighed 1800 g.
  2. 32-weeks'-gestation infant who needed no oxygen and weighed 1850 g.
  3. 28-weeks'-gestation infant who has been on long-term oxygen and weighed 1400 g.

Answer to Question 1

A
Variability, or rhythmic changes, in the baseline fetal heart rate is a reassuring indicator of a supportive intrauterine environment and indicates a positive fetal condition. Decreased oxygenation of the placenta, fetal distress in utero, and pressure on the umbilical cord are a negative condition.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. The 28-week infant on oxygen weighing 1400 g has the highest risk of retinopathy of prema-turity because of gestational age (28 weeks or less), weight (less than 1500 g), and oxygen thera-py. The other neonates have fewer risk factors.
2. The 28-week infant on oxygen weighing 1400 g has the highest risk of retinopathy of prema-turity because of gestational age (28 weeks or less), weight (less than 1500 g), and oxygen thera-py. The other neonates have fewer risk factors.
3. The 28-week infant on oxygen weighing 1400 g has the highest risk of retinopathy of prema-turity because of gestational age (28 weeks or less), weight (less than 1500 g), and oxygen thera-py. The other neonates have fewer risk factors.
4. The 28-week infant on oxygen weighing 1400 g has the highest risk of retinopathy of prema-turity because of gestational age (28 weeks or less), weight (less than 1500 g), and oxygen thera-py. The other neonates have fewer risk factors.
