  1. The sympathetic branch of the ANS influences FHR to?: increase
  2. the average difference in baseline FHR b/w 30 & 40 weeks is?: 10bpm usually 5-6; 10 is closest
  3. Fetal blood is most highly oxygenated in the?: Ductus Venosous
  4. An abrupt rise in fetal bp can stimulate?: variable decels

  6. Over the course of pregnancy, the FHR baseline?: decreases
  7. FHR variability is dependent upon?: cerebral oxygen and intact CNS
  8. chemoreceptors respond mainly to?: hypoxemia
  9. pH: 7. pCO2: 50 HCO3: 24 BE: -3: normal acid-base status (if pH is normal, answer is normal)

maternal fever

  1. FHR pattern likely to develop w/severe fetal anemia?: sinusoidal
  2. marked variability is mediated by?: adrenergic activity
  3. during 1st stage of labor for women w/ no risk factors, efm should be reviewed every?: 30 min.
  4. during 1st stage of labor for women w/complications, EFM should be reviewed every?: 15 min.
  5. during 2nd stage labor for women requiring oxytocin, EFM should be reviewed every?: 5 min.

  4. most consistent clinical sign of uterine rupture during tolac?: recurrent decels of bradycardia
  5. loss of FHR variability can result from?: medication administration
  6. IV stadol may result in?: transient sinusoidal (pseudosinusoidal)

  9. toco detects changes in?: the shape of the uterine wall
  10. fetoscope works by detecting?: sound of opening/closing of heart valves
  11. short r-to-r intervals in fetal egg is indicative of?: tachycardia
