T/F: Umbilical cord influences that can alter blood flow include

true knots, hematomas, and number of umbilical vessels. - Correct Answers ✅True

T/F: Low amplitude contractions are not an early sign of

preterm labor. - Correct Answers ✅False

T/F: Corticosteroid administration may cause an increase in

FHR accelerations. - Correct Answers ✅False

T/F: Corticosteroid administration may cause an increase in

FHR. - Correct Answers ✅True

T/F: Contractions cause an increase in uterine venous

pressure and a decrease in uterine artery perfusion. - Correct Answers ✅True As a result of the intrinsic fetal response to oxygen deprivation, increased catecholamine levels cause the peripheral blood flow to decrease while the blood flow to vital organs increases. These flow changes along with increased catecholamine secretions have what effect on fetal blood pressure and fetal heart rate?
