A client in labor with external fetal monitor
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and has an external fetal monitor. The nurse observes late decelerations on the monitor strip and interprets them as indicating which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B - Uteroplacental insufficiency
Rationale: Late decelerations indicate decreased blood flow and oxygen to the fetus. Uteroplacental insufficiency causes decreased oxygen exchange between the placenta and fetus, leading to late decelerations. This is a serious concern as it can result in fetal hypoxia and distress.
Summary of other choices:
A: Fetal head compression - This would typically result in variable decelerations, not late decelerations.
C: Maternal bradycardia - Maternal heart rate does not directly impact fetal heart rate patterns.
D: Umbilical cord compression - This would usually cause variable or prolonged decelerations, not late decelerations.
