Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and receiving electronic fetal monitoring. The nurse is reviewing the monitor tracing and notes early decelerations. Which of the following should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Head compression. Early decelerations are a common finding during labor and are typically caused by head compression from uterine contractions. As the fetal head is compressed, it stimulates the vagus nerve, leading to a temporary decrease in the fetal heart rate. This is considered a benign finding and is not associated with fetal hypoxia, abruptio placentae, or postmaturity. Fetal hypoxia would present as late decelerations, abruptio placentae would have variable decelerations, and postmaturity would not be reflected in the fetal heart rate pattern with early decelerations.
