Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a characteristic of early decelerations in fetal heart rate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Early decelerations are a gradual decrease in fetal heart rate (FHR) that mirrors uterine contractions. This occurs due to head compression during contractions, which stimulates the vagus nerve, leading to a temporary slowing of the FHR. This pattern is considered benign and typically resolves on its own.
Choice B is incorrect because early decelerations are not abrupt in nature.
Choice C describes an acceleration in FHR, not a deceleration.
Choice D describes late decelerations, which occur after the peak of uterine contractions and are concerning for fetal hypoxia.
