Question

VEAL CHOP (acronym for FHR interpretation)

a. Variable decelerations, early decelerations, acceleration, late decelerations
b. Vaginal examination, early decelerations, acceleration, cord compression
c. Variability, early decelerations, accelerations, late decelerations
d. Variable decelerations, early decelerations, atypical variable decelerations, late decelerations

Answer 1

The VEAL CHOP acronym is used for the interpretation of fetal heart rate patterns during labor and delivery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The VEAL CHOP acronym is used for the interpretation of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns during labor and delivery.

The correct option is c. Variability, early decelerations, accelerations, late decelerations.

Variability refers to the fluctuations in the FHR baseline. Early decelerations are gradual decreases in FHR during contractions. Accelerations are transient increases in FHR, while late decelerations are decreases in FHR that occur after the peak of a contraction.
