C-EFM Practice Questions
In comparing early and late decelerations, a distinguishing factor between the two is
A. Onset time to the nadir of the deceleration
B. The # of decels that occur
C. Timing in relation to contractions - ANS C. Timjng in relation to ctx
The underlying cause of early decelerations is decreased
A. Baroreceptors response
B. Increased peripheral resistance
C. Vagal reflex - ANS
Betamethasone can increase or decrease FHr - ANS Decrease
Following an ultrasound which revealed decreased amniotic fluid, a woman at term is
admitted in early labor. It should be recognized that oligohydramnios often results in
FHR decels that are
A. Late in onset or occur after peak of contraction
B. Synchronous with that of contractions
C. Varied in depth and duration - ANS C. Varied in depth and duration
What do respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis have in common? - ANS Low pH
Doppler technology use sounds waves to reflect
A. Electric waves
B. Movement
C. Sound - ANS B. Movement - Doppler technology uses sound waves to reflect off of
anything that moves
Doppler sounds can be deterred by
A. Poly
B. Maternal positioning - ANS Poly - May scatter sound waves
BPP...if it decreases what is the last item remaining?
A. breathing
B. Movement
C. Tone - ANS C. Tone (BPP behaviors disappear in the reverse order in which they
appeared)
