Answer to Question 1

ANS:
25
There are four categories of fetal heart rate variability:
Absent: Amplitude range is undetectable
Minimal: detectable to less than or equal to 5 beats/min
Moderate (normal): 6 to 25 beats/min
Marked: Range >25 beats/min

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C
Amnioinfusion is performed with lactated Ringer's solution or normal saline, not 3. Normal saline is infused into the uterus through an intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC). The underpads must be changed regularly because fluid leaks out constantly. The membranes need to be ruptured before an amnioinfusion can be initiated so an amniotic hook will be needed. The IUPC must have a double lumen to run the infusion through.
