Why do we monitor the fetal heart rate?
What is to identify changes associated with inadequate fetal oxygenation?
What is a normal baseline fetal heart rate?
What is 110 to 160 bpm?
Can maternal beta-blocker therapy cause baseline bradycardia in the fetus?
What is yes?
What are the categories of variability?
What are absent, minimal, moderate, and marked?
Which variability category reflects adequate oxygenation of the fetus?
What is moderate?
What is a fetal heart rate acceleration?
What are temporary increases in fetal heart rate?
What do FHR accelerations predict?
What is adequate oxygenation of the fetus at that time?
What are the classifications of decelerations?
What are early, late, and variable?
Which deceleration class is considered benign?
What are early decelerations?
What is a prolonged deceleration?
What is a fall in FHR of greater than or equal to 15 bpm for at least 2 minutes but less than 10 minutes?
What are the categories for FHR tracing?
What are categories 1, 2, and 3?
Which category of FHR tracings is normal?
What is category 1?
Which category of FHR tracings is associated with an increased likelihood of severe hypoxia?
What is category 3?
What are considered recurrent late and variable decelerations?
What is the occurrence with at least 50% of contractions within 20 minutes?
Do you want your FHR tracing to be reactive or nonreactive?
What is reactive? This is the sign of a healthy baby.
What are the acute variables of a BPP?
What are fetal breathing, fetal body movements, and fetal tone?
What is the chronic parameter of the BPP?

What are the max points allowed for EACH variable of the BPP?
What is 2?
How long should the fetus be continuously observed for a BPP?
What is 30 minutes?
Should every pregnant woman receive a BPP?
What is no, only the ones at risk for fetal compromise?
How often is BPP testing repeated?
What is weekly?
At what score for the BPP is delivery always recommended?
What is a score of 4/10 or less?
Absent or reversed end-diastolic flow is associated with?
What is fetal hypoxemia and acidemia?
What does Doppler velocimetry measure?
What are the blood flow velocities in maternal and fetal vessels?
What is the indication for the use of Doppler velocimetry?
What is suspected intrauterine growth restriction?
