Question 14
Question
In terms of analysing the CTG, the Baseline Rate refers to the foetal heart rate. What is the normal foetal heart rate?
Between [blank_start]100-160[blank_end] BPM
Answer
-
100-160
-
100-140
-
120-140
-
120-160
Question 15
Question
In terms of analysing the CTG, the variability refers to the change in the foetal heart rate from one beat to the next. In a healthy foetus, the variability is between [blank_start]5-25[blank_end] BPM
Question 16
Question
In terms of analysing the CTG, accelerations are abrupt increases in the foetal heart rate of >[blank_start]15[blank_end]BPM for >[blank_start]15[blank_end] seconds
Question 17
Question
In terms of the CTG, accelerations occurring alongside contractions are [blank_start]normal[blank_end] and reassuring of [blank_start]a healthy[blank_end] foetus
Answer
-
normal
-
abnormal
-
a healthy
-
an unhealthy
Question 18
Question
In terms of analysing the CTG, decelerations are abrupt decreases in the foetal heart rate of >[blank_start]15[blank_end]BPM for >[blank_start]15[blank_end] seconds
Question 19
Question
Decelerations can be early, late or variable:
[blank_start]Early decelerations[blank_end]: Occur exactly in time with uterine contractions and recover by the time the contraction is over
[blank_start]Variable decelerations[blank_end]: Have a variable recovery time
[blank_start]Late decelerations[blank_end]: Occur at the peak of a contraction and don’t recover until after the contraction is over
Answer
-
Early decelerations
-
Variable decelerations
-
Late decelerations

Answer
-
Early Deceleration
-
