RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Proctored Exam
A nurse is caring for a client who is in active labor. The nurse should notify the provider for which of the following findings?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Moderate variability in the FHR: Incorrect. Moderate variability (6-25 bpm) is a reassuring sign of fetal well-being. B. Prolonged decelerations: Prolonged decelerations, defined as a decrease in fetal heart rate (FHR) of at least 15 beats per minute lasting 2 to 10 minutes, indicate potential fetal hypoxia or distress and require immediate notification of the provider. C. Baseline FHR 115/min: Incorrect. A baseline FHR of 115/min is within the normal range of 110-160 bpm. D. Three uterine contractions within 10 min: Incorrect. This contraction pattern is within the normal range for active labor (normal is 2-5 contractions in 10 minutes).
