FHM 1
3 assessment techniques for assessing the FHR
What is External, Internal and Intermittent
Changes in The FHR that occur with or in relationship to contractions
What is Periodic
A Tocotransducer (TOCO) measures
What is frequency and duration of contractions
This is inserted vaginally to identify FHR
What is a Scalp Electrode
On fetal monitoring paper the upper graph is
What is FHR
Why do you count the maternal radial pulse
What is differentiate MHR from FHR
Category 1 of the NICHD categories tells us this about the baby
What is well oxygenated
to measure frequency
what is the onset of 1 contraction to the onset of the next
Intrauterine Pressure Catheter is used to
What is measure the intensity of a contraction
On fetal monitoring paper the lower graph records
What are contractions
the best indicator of fetal wellbeing
What is variability
Category 2 of the NICHD categories
What does not meet category 1 or 3
This is measuring duration
what is from beginning to end of contraction
Use Leopold's Maneuvers to identify
What is fetal presentation and position
Normal fetal heart rate
What is 110-160
Fetal heart rate above 160 for 10 minutes or greater
What is fetal tachycardia
Changes in the FHR that occur independent of contractions
What is Episodic
The Acme is
What is the most intense part of the contraction
This measures fetal breathing, fetal movement, fetal tone and amniotic fluid
What is a Biophysical Profile (BPP)
Give 3 nursing interventions for prolonged decelerations
What is discontinue Pitocin, Call MD,
Change position, Vaginal exam
IV start/Bolus, Oxygen via face mask
3 primary mechanisms of head compression
What is Fetal head, umbilical cord, and uterine myometrial vessels
Improper documentation can lead to
What is a lawsuit
Contractions are best palpated
what is the fundus
An Non Stress Test (NST) is considered reactive when
what are 2 accelerations of 15 bpm and 15 seconds long over a 20 minute period
Early, late, variable, prolonged
What are types of decelerations
