Rationale
An umbilical cord acid-base determination test is performed to assess the
immediate condition of the neonate after birth, especially if there is an
abnormal or confusing fetal heart rate (FHR) tracing found during labor.
The nurse would collect blood from both the umbilical artery and umbilical
vein to perform the test. It is not necessary to administer terbutaline
before performing the test; it is administered during the time of labor if
uterine contractions are too frequent. The fetal scalp stimulating technique
is an indirect method to assess the fetal blood pH. This test need not be
performed before the acid-base determination test.

3/24
Rationale
A spiral electrode can be used only after the membranes have ruptured.
The electrode is attached securely to the presenting fetal body part to
obtain a good signal. It is only used during the intrapartum period and
only if the cervix is sufficiently dilated and the membranes are ruptured. A
tocotransducer is applied firmly to the maternal abdomen to monitor the
frequency and duration of contractions. A spiral electrode penetrates into
the presenting part by 1.5 mm.
Test-Taking Tip:
If you are unable to answer a multiple-choice question
immediately, eliminate the alternatives that you know are incorrect and
proceed from that point. The same goes for a multiple-response question
that requires you to choose two or more of the given alternatives. If a fill-
in-the-blank question poses a problem, read the situation and essential
information carefully and then formulate your response.

Rationale
An elevated oxytocin level increases uterine contractions during labor. A
decreased hemoglobin level leads to a reduced oxygen supply to the fetus,
but it is not a complication associated with an elevated oxytocin level.
Oxytocin has no effect on blood glucose levels. A family history of diabetes
may increase the risk of gestational diabetes in the client. Conditions such
as hypertension in the client may lower the blood supply to the placenta
but are not associated with oxytocin levels.
STUDY TIP:
Begin studying by setting goals. Make sure they are realistic. A
goal of scoring 100% on all examinations is not realistic, but scoring 85%
may be a better goal.

The primary health care provider prescribes terbutaline for a
pregnant client for which reason?
Rationale
Terbutaline is a tocolytic and is administered to the client who has
premature labor and also to the client who has excessive UCs
spontaneously. It slows down the contractions. Terbutaline has no effect on
Blood volume is elevated.
Hemoglobin is decreased.
Blood pressure is reduced.
Contractions are increased.

blood volume, hemoglobin, or blood pressure. Blood volume is elevated
by infusing aggressive intravenous infusion or sodium and water
retention. Maternal hypotension, as evidenced by reduced blood pressure,
is relieved by elevating the legs during labor. Clients with decreased
hemoglobin are treated with iron supplements, not terbutaline.
STUDY TIP:
Regular exercise, even if only a 10-minute brisk walk each day,
aids in reducing stress. Although you may have been able to enjoy regular
sessions at the health club or at an exercise class several times a week, you
now may have to cut down on that time without giving up a set schedule
for an exercise routine. Using an exercise bicycle that has a book rack on it
at home, the YMCA, or a health club can help you accomplish two goals at
once. You can exercise while beginning a reading assignment or while
studying notes for an examination. Listening to lecture recordings while
doing floor exercises is another option. At least a couple of times a week,
however, the exercise routine should be done without the mental
connection to school; time for the mind to unwind is necessary, too.

To which condition would the nurse attribute late
decelerations in the client’s fetal heart rate (FHR)?
Fundal pressure
Uteroplacental insufficiency
Vaginal examination
Fetal scalp stimulation
2/3/24, 11:06 PM
Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing - Quiz performance
https://eaqng.elsevier.com/#/quizPerformance/50941410
6/24
Rationale
Uteroplacental insufficiency leads to disruption of the oxygen transfer
from the maternal blood to the fetus. This can lead to late decelerations
of
the fetal heart rate. Early FHR decelerations may result from fetal head
compression caused by fundal pressure or vaginal examination. Fetal scalp
stimulation typically causes FHR accelerations, not late FHR decelerations.
Test-Taking Tip:
Do not panic while taking an examination! Panic will only
increase your anxiety. Stop for a moment, close your eyes, take a few deep
breaths, and resume review of the question.
pp. 365-367
Report content error
For which reason would the nurse encourage a laboring client
to breathe through the mouth and keep it open while pushing
during the second stage of labor?
Rationale
During labor, the nurse would ask the client to breathe through the mouth
and keep it open to increase both maternal and fetal oxygenation. Nasal
pressure is not a complication associated with labor. Opening the mouth
would not increase the pushing capability. Early decelerations are observed
To avoid nasal pressure in the client
To decrease efforts required for pushing
To facilitate increased oxygen to the fetus
To avoid deceleration in the fetal heart rate

by pushing, which would not require any intervention.
STUDY TIP:
Answer every question. A question without an answer is the
same as a wrong answer. Go ahead and guess. You have studied for the
test, and you know the material well. You are not making a random guess
based on no information. You are guessing based on what you have
learned and your best assessment of the question.

Report content error
When monitoring the client in labor, the nurse knows the
likely cause of variable decelerations in the fetal heart rate
(FHR) is which factor?
Rationale
Variable decelerations
are usually transient and correctable. They can
occur at any time during the uterine contraction phase and are caused by
umbilical cord compression. Uterine tachysystole is a condition that causes
frequent uterine contractions, often more than five contractions in 10
minutes. This causes disruption of oxygen transfer from the environment
to the fetus, leading to late decelerations. Maternal hypertension leads to
late FHR decelerations caused by reduced oxygen transfer to the fetus.
Uterine tachysystole
Maternal hypertension
Umbilical cord compression
Epidural or spinal anesthesia

Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing - Quiz performance
https://eaqng.elsevier.com/#/quizPerformance/50941410
8/24
Epidural or spinal anesthesia reduces blood flow through maternal vessels,
causing late decelerations.
Test-Taking Tip:
As you answer each question, write a few words about why
you think that answer is correct; in other words, justify why you selected
that answer. If an answer you provide is a guess, mark the question to
identify it. This will permit you to recognize areas that need further review.
It will also help you to see how correct your "guessing" can be. Remember:
on the licensure examination you must answer each question before
moving on to the next question.

Which intervention might the obstetric health care
practitioner use if variable decelerations are present in the
fetal heart rate?
Rationale
Infusion of lactated Ringer solution into the uterine cavity, known as
amnioinfusion, helps to increase the volume of amniotic fluid in a client
with oligohydramnios. Reduced amniotic fluid results in compression of

the umbilical cord during contraction, thereby resulting in variable
decelerations. Administration of terbutaline is given intravenously and is
done to reduce the frequency of contractions. It is usually given when
uterine tachysystole is observed. An intravenous infusion of oxytocin to a
pregnant female with low amniotic fluid would increase contractions,
which could cause variable decelerations due to cord compression and
would not be done if variable decelerations are already present. Oral intake
of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin is
recommended in case of excess amniotic fluid to reduce it by lowering the
fetal urine output.

In which stage of labor would intermittent auscultation (IA)
technique be done every 10 minutes?
Rationale
The Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses
recommends different frequencies for using the IA technique based on the
stage of labor. A client in the second stage of labor who is actively pushing
is recommended to have IA at an interval of every 5 to 15 minutes. An
interval of 15 minutes is suggested in the second stage of labor in which

the fetus shows passive descent and there is no active pushing. Insufficient
evidence is available to recommend a proper interval for the latent phase

Which observation related to the fetal heart rate (FHR) might
lead to severe fetal hypoxia?
Rationale
Monitoring the FHR during labor alerts to the presence or absence of any
abnormality. A sinusoidal pattern is grouped under Category III of FHR
tracings; it indicates fetal compromise during labor and might cause
severe fetal hypoxia. The presence of moderate variability in the baseline
and a baseline heart rate of 130 beats per minute are considered normal
patterns. The observation of fetal tachycardia is a Category II FHR tracing
and is considered an intermediate finding.

Which measure would the nurse take to obtain the most
accurate baseline fetal heart rate (FHR) of a full-term client in
labor?

2/3/24, 11:06 PM
Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing - Quiz performance
https://eaqng.elsevier.com/#/quizPerformance/50941410
12/24
Rationale
The baseline fetal heart rate is the average rate during a 10-minute
segment. To determine a baseline heart rate, the 10-minute segment
should not include periods of marked variability or periodic or episodic
changes. The nurse would ensure there are at least 2 minutes of
interpretable baseline data in a 10-minute segment of tracing.
p. 362
Report content error
Which location on the fetus would the nurse utilize to assess
and hear loud, clear fetal heart sounds?
Rationale
The nurse would locate the fetal back to listen and count the heart sounds.
The heart sounds are loudest and clearest over the fetal back. It is difficult
for the nurse to count the heart sounds over the fetal head, neck, or

abdomen because the heart sounds are not loud and clear in these areas.
Test-Taking Tip:
Answer the question that is asked. Read the situation and
the question carefully, looking for key words or phrases. Do not read
anything into the question or apply what you did in a similar situation
during one of your clinical experiences. Think of each question as being an
ideal, yet realistic, situation.

Which device would the nurse use for monitoring the
intensity of uterine contractions in a laboring client?
Rationale
An IUPC
measures the frequency, duration, and intensity of contractions
during the intrapartum period. The device records the pressure at the
catheter tip, and values are expressed in mm Hg. However, for accurate
readings, the membranes would be ruptured, and the cervix would be
dilated. A tocotransducer monitors the frequency and duration of
contractions for both antepartum and intrapartum care but does not
measure intensity. This device is placed on the client’s abdomen. Spiral
electrodes and ultrasound transducers are used to assess fetal heart rate,

not the intensity of contractions. A spiral electrode is an invasive mode,
whereas an ultrasound transducer is a noninvasive mode.
p. 360
Report content error
Which laboring client would the nurse expect to be a likely
candidate for amnioinfusion?
Rationale
Amnioinfusion is the infusion of room-temperature isotonic fluid into the
uterine cavity when the volume of amniotic fluid is low. Clients with
premature rupture of membranes may receive an amnioinfusion due to
low amniotic fluid index, which can cause intermittent umbilical cord
compression that results in variable decelerations and transient fetal
hypoxemia. The amnioinfusion would restore the amniotic fluid volume to
a normal or near-normal level. The nurse would discontinue the
administration of oxytocin for a client with increased uterine activity.
Hypertension and diabetes are not factors that indicate the need for
amnioinfusion. Clients receiving amnioinfusion are at a risk for
overdistention of the uterine cavity because amnioinfusion increases the
amniotic fluid volume.
A client with low amniotic fluid index (AFI)
A client with an increase in uterine activity
A client with hypertension and diabetes during the third trimester
A client with an overdistended uterine cavity during the second

To determine the placental function of a laboring client, which
part of the umbilical cord acid-base report would the nurse
review?
Rationale
Umbilical acid-base determination helps determine the immediate
condition of the newborn after birth. The nurse would check the umbilical
vein report to determine the placental functioning. The umbilical artery
report is used to determine the physiologic functioning of the newborn.
Amniotic fluid concentrations are monitored during labor but not after
birth. Blood glucose levels in the fetus are not assessed with the umbilical
cord test.
STUDY TIP:
Record the information you find to be most difficult to
remember on 3" × 5" cards (or in your electronic device) and carry them
with you in your pocket. When you are waiting for an appointment, just
pull out the cards/electronic device and review again. This "found" time
may add points to your test scores that you have lost in the past.

Which statement accurately describes episodic accelerations in
fetal heart rate (FHR) while monitoring a laboring client?
Rationale
Episodic accelerations
in FHR occur during fetal movement and are
indications of fetal well-being. Umbilical cord compression results in
variable decelerations in FHR. Accelerations in FHR are an indication of
fetal well-being and do not warrant close observation. Uteroplacental
insufficiency would result in late decelerations in FHR.
STUDY TIP:
A helpful method for decreasing test stress is to practice self-
affirmation. After you have adequately studied and really know the
material, start looking in the mirror each time you pass one and say to
yourself—preferably out loud—"I know this material, and I will do well on
the test." After several times of watching and hearing yourself reaffirm your
knowledge, you will gain inner confidence and be able to perform much
better during the test period. This technique really works for students who
are adventurous enough to use it. It may feel silly at first, but if it works,
who cares? It will work for performing skills in clinical as well, as long as
you have practiced the skill sufficiently.

According to the three-tier fetal heart rate (FHR) classification
system, which finding would indicate a category II FHR?
Rationale
Minimal variability in FHR indicates that there is insufficient oxygen supply
to the fetus. This is categorized as a category II
in the three-tiered FHR
classification system. Moderate variability in FHR indicates normal cardiac
activity, which is classified as category I. Bradycardia (FHR less than 110
beats/min) is classified as category III. FHR acceleration is completely
absent in category II and is present in category I.

Which device can be used as a noninvasive way to assess fetal
heart rate (FHR) in a client whose membranes are not
ruptured?
Rationale
An ultrasound transducer
is used to assess FHR by an external mode of
electronic fetal monitoring. It does not require membrane rupture and
cervical dilation. A tocotransducer can be used to assess uterine activity in
a laboring client whose cervix is not sufficiently dilated, but it does not
assess FHR. A spiral electrode is used in the internal mode of electronic
fetal monitoring to assess FHR. It is used only when membranes are
ruptured and the cervix is dilated during the intrapartum period. An IUPC
is used to assess uterine activity in internal mode. It is used only when
membranes are ruptured and the cervix is dilated during the intrapartum
period.

Which method allows for fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring by
obtaining an electrocardiogram (ECG) of the fetus during
labor?
Rationale
A spiral electrode is an internal method of fetal monitoring that can
convert fetal ECG readings into FHR during labor. The ultrasound
transducer is an external monitoring device that utilizes high-frequency
sound waves to analyze the mechanical action of the fetal heart. An
intrauterine pressure catheter is also used for internal monitoring of the
frequency, duration, and intensity of contractions during labor. A
tocotransducer is used externally to monitor the frequency and duration of
contractions through a pressure-sensing device placed on the abdomen of
the pregnant client.

Which question from an equipment checklist would be useful
when evaluating the functional efficiency of the ultrasound
transducer?
Rationale
The functional efficiency of the ultrasound transducer can be assessed by
checking the FHR and comparing it with the maternal pulse. This will
ensure that the FHR is accurate. Other checks for a transducer include
making sure gel was applied and if the belt is comfortably secured around
the client. Checking if the paper is correctly inserted helps in noting the
function of the monitor. Noting if the monitor is set to zero as per the
manufacturer’s instructions and if the uterus’ baseline resting tone is
properly documented helps in evaluating the internal catheter or strain
gauge.
