baseline
Quiz :T/F: Oxygen exchange in the placenta takes
place in the intervillous space. - √Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: The parasympathetic nervous system is
a cardioaccelerator. - √Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: Baroreceptors are stretch receptors
which respond to increases or decreases in blood
pressure. - √Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: There are two electronic fetal monitoring
methods of obtaining the fetal heart rate: the
ultrasound transducer and the fetal spiral
electrode. - √Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: Variability can be determined with the
fetoscope. - √Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: Because the ultrasound transducer and
toco transducer are sealed units, they can be
dipped in warm water to make cleaning easier. -
√Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: The most common artifact with the
ultrasound transducer system for fetal heart rate is
increased variability. - √Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: All fetal monitors contain a logic system
designed to reject artifact. - √Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: The monitor should always be tested
before starting a tracing, either external or internal
mode and labeled a test. - √Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: The paper speed on the fetal monitor
should always be set at 1cm/min. - √Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: Both internal and external monitoring
methods are equally accurate means of obtaining
the fetal heart rate and contraction patterns. -
√Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: The external toco is usually placed over
the uterine fundus to pick up contractions. -
√Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: The external toco gives measurable
uterine pressure. - √Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: The fetal spiral electrode can be placed
when vaginal bleeding of unknown origin is
present. - √Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: The ultrasound transducer is usually
placed on the side of the uterus over the baby's
back, as the fetal heart is heard best there. -
√Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: The spiral electrode is used to more
accurately determine the frequency, duration, and
intensity of uterine contractions. - √Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: The heart rate from a well-applied fetal
spiral electrode can only be fetal, not maternal. -
√Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: The intrauterine catheter is used to pick
up the fetal heart rate. - √Answer>False
Quiz :T/F: The internal spiral electrode may pick
up the maternal heart rate if the baby has died. -
√Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: Fetal arrhythmias can be seen on both
internal and external monitor tracings. -
√Answer>True
Quiz :T/F: Variability and periodic changes can be
detected with both internal and external
monitoring. - √Answer>True [Show Less]
