accurate method is clearly indicated
b) Internally
c) Only early in labor
d) The FHR cannot be monitored by doppler ultrasound
Correct answer:a) Throughout labor and delivery unless
the use of a more accurate method is clearly indicated
Question :What is the normal range for FHR base line in a
term infant?
- 80-120 bpm
- 110-160 bpm

- Increase intravenous (IV) fluids.
- Continuous Fetal Monitor
- Administer ephedrine per MD order
Correct answer:Place her in lateral position, & increase
IV fluids. If no improvement may need to give epi to increase vascular tone.
