-auscultate while palpating maternal radial pulse
-variability: describes the fluctuations in baseline FHR that cause the printed line to have an irregular wavelike pattern
occurs during sleep, sedatives, younger than 28weeks

-the wire from the electrode protrudes from the mother’s vagina
and is attached to a leg plate to provide electrical grounding

Answer 19

FSE

fetal scalp electrode

Question 20

NST

Answer 20

non-stress test

Question 21

-identifies whether an increase in FHR occurs when the fetus moves, indicating adequate oxygenation, a healthy neural
pathway from the fetal CNS to the fetal heart and the ability of the
heart to respond to stimuli
