NCC EFM WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION

NCC EFM WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION 1. What pattern reliably predicts the absence of fetal metabolic acidemia at the time observed?: Moderate variability and/or accelerations 2. "Coupling" is a dysfunctional uterine pattern that is the result of?: Exces- sive exposure to Pitocin 3. In the healthy fetus, the umbilical cord enters the fetal abdomen and bypasses the liver through the: Ductus Venosus 4. 20 minutes into an NST, the patient has still not felt the baby move. You have 2 accels 15x15. You would...: Consider this a reactive NST and discontinue monitoring 5. One physiological explanation for a prolonged acceleration is?: Vein com- pression 6. The mechanism for movement of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and oxygen through the placenta is?: Simple Diffusion 7. Compared to the fetal heart rate of a term fetus, a preterm fetus has...: A lower amplitude of accelerations 8. Acid Base Balance values: PH acid Base 7.20...............7.29 PaCO2 (lungs) base acid 49.2. 56.3 HCO2 (kidneys) acid base 22. 24.1 9. Tachycardia is associated with increased: sympathetic tone 10. parasympathetic nervous system: decreases heart rate Maintains transmission of beat to beat variability Stimulation release of acetylcholine 11. Parasympathetic nervous system location: Originates in the medulla oblon- gata
