Answer to Question 1

A
The fetus with adequate reserve for the stress of labor will usually respond to vibroacoustic stimulation with a temporary increase in the fetal heart rate (FHR) baseline.
An increase in the FHR after stimulation is reassuring.
An increase in the FHR after stimulation is a reassuring pattern and does not indicate prob-lems with the parasympathetic nervous system.
An increase in the FHR with stimulation does not indicate hypoxia.

Answer to Question 2

B
