Question 1 of 5
The nurse observes a fetal heart rate pattern on the monitor: baseline 160 beats per minute with minimal variability, a decrease to 150 beats per minute beginning after the contraction starts and returns to baseline after the contraction ends. Which finding should the nurse document in the electronic medical record?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The described pattern matches late decelerations, indicating potential utero-placental insufficiency, as the fetal heart rate decreases after the contraction starts and recovers post-contraction.
