Extract:
A nurse is observing the electronic fetal heart rate monitor tracing for a client who is at 40 weeks of gestation and is in labor.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse should suspect a problem with the umbilical cord when she observes which of the following patterns?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Variable decelerations. Variable decelerations indicate umbilical cord compression, which can lead to fetal distress. This pattern is characterized by abrupt and transient decreases in the fetal heart rate. Other choices are incorrect because:
B) Early decelerations are associated with head compression during contractions and are considered a normal response to labor;
C) Accelerations are a reassuring sign of fetal well-being, indicating a healthy response to fetal movement;
D) Late decelerations suggest uteroplacental insufficiency, not related to umbilical cord issues.
