1. True or False: A normal fetal heart rate is between 100-120 bpm.
- True
- False
The answer is FALSE. A normal fetal heart rate is between 120-160 bpm.
2. On the fetal heart monitor you see early decelerations. What is the cause of this finding?
- A. The baby’s head is pressing against the pelvis or soft tissue
- B. It is due to uteroplacental insufficiency.
- C. It is caused by cord compression.
- D. It is caused by a prolapsed uterus.
The answer is A: The baby’s head is pressing against the pelvis or soft tissue
3. Which diagram is displaying late decelerations?
- A. Diagram 1
- B. Diagram 2
- C. Diagram 3
- D. Diagram 1 & 2
The answer is B: Diagram 2
4. Which diagram or diagrams require nursing interventions?
- A. Diagram 2 & 3
- B. Diagram 1 & 3
- C. Diagram 1 & 2
- D. None of the diagrams require nursing interventions.
The answer is A: Diagram 2 & 3
5. Which of the following statements describe a variable deceleration?
- A. Variable decelerations are uniform.
- B. On the fetal tracing, the heart rate will mirror the mother’s contraction and represent uteroplacental insufficiency.
- C. On the fetal tracing, the heart rate will increase after the mother’s contraction and return to baseline after the contraction ends.
- D. On the fetal tracing, the heart rate will go up and down and present when the cord is being compressed.
The answer is D: On the fetal tracing, the heart rate will go up and down and present when the cord is being compressed.

- D. None of the above.
The answer is C: Diagram 1
