SOLVED (Newest 2025) Causes of fetal heart rate (FHR) changes not related directly to fetal oxygenation can include fetal sleep cycles, extreme

prematurity, and maternal conditions such as:

• fever and infection
• medication and positioning
• substance abuse and fever - Correct Answers ✅a. fever

and infection are maternal conditions that can affect the fetal heart rate without being related to fetal oxygenation.Medication can trigger nonhypoxic changes in fetal heart rate, but maternal conditions such as positioning can cause hypoxia through umbilical cord compression.Maternal substance abuse could lead to hypoxia while a maternal fever is associated with nonhypoxic fetal heart rate changes The mechanism for placental transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide is

• active transport
• facilitated diffusion
• passive diffusion - Correct Answers ✅c. passive diffusion
