NUR 260 QUIZ 4 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
While evaluating an external monitor tracing of a woman in active labor, the nurse
notes that the fetal heart rate (FHR) for five sequential contractions begins to
decelerate late in the contraction, with the nadir of the decelerations occurring
after the peak of the contraction. The nurse's first priority is to:
Change the woman's position.
Assist with amnioinfusion.
Insert a scalp electrode.
Notify the care provider.
Change the woman's position.
The nurse caring for the laboring woman should understand that early
decelerations are caused by:
Altered fetal cerebral blood flow.
Spontaneous rupture of membranes.
Uteroplacental insufficiency.
Umbilical cord compression
Umbilical cord compression
The nurse providing care for the laboring woman realizes that variable fetal heart
rate (FHR) decelerations are caused by:
, Altered fetal cerebral blood flow.
Umbilical cord compression.
Fetal hypoxemia.
Uteroplacental insufficiency.
Umbilical cord compression.
The nurse providing care for the laboring woman should understand that late
fetal heart rate (FHR) decelerations are the result of:
Altered cerebral blood flow.
Meconium fluid.
Uteroplacental insufficiency.
Umbilical cord compression.
Uteroplacental insufficiency.
The nurse providing care for the laboring woman should understand that
amnioinfusion is used to treat:
Fetal tachycardia.
Late decelerations.
Variable decelerations.
Fetal bradycardia.
Variable decelerations.
The nurse caring for the woman in labor should understand that maternal
hypotension can result in:
Spontaneous rupture of membranes.
Early decelerations.
