Question

A 19-year-old G3P0 with spontaneous rupture of membranes for 13 hours presented to labor and delivery. She had no prenatal care. Her vital signs are:blood pressure 120/70; pulse 72; afebrile; fundal height 36 cm; and estimated fetal weight of 2700 gm. Cervix is dilated to 1 cm, 50

1) Normal fetal heart rate with good variability and regular contractions
2) Fetal tachycardia with good variability and regular contractions
3) Normal fetal heart rate with poor variability and irregular contractions
4) Fetal tachycardia with poor variability and regular contractions
5) Normal fetal heart rate with good variability and irregular contractions

Answer 1

The fetal heart rate is normal with good variability, and the contractions are regular.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the fetal heart rate and the contractions in a pregnant patient with spontaneous rupture of membranes for 13 hours. Given the information provided, the answer would be option 1) Normal fetal heart rate with good variability and regular contractions. This is because a normal fetal heart rate, along with good variability, indicates that the fetus is well-oxygenated. Regular contractions also suggest that labor is progressing normally.
