Final answer:

Fetal distress signs and treatments include variable decelerations treated with oxygen and position change, early decelerations requiring immediate cesarean section, accelerations requiring continuous monitoring, and late decelerations requiring immediate forceps delivery.

Step-by-step explanation:

FHR signs of fetal distress and treatment:

  1. Variable decelerations: Treatment: Oxygen and position change
  2. Early decelerations: Treatment: Immediate cesarean section
  3. Accelerations: Treatment: Continuous monitoring
  4. Late decelerations: Treatment: Immediate forceps delivery

Fetal distress can be caused by contractions that reduce oxygenated blood flow to the fetus. Variable decelerations can be treated with oxygen and position change to improve blood flow. Early decelerations may indicate the need for an immediate cesarean section. Accelerations are a positive sign and require continuous monitoring. Late decelerations may require immediate forceps delivery to ensure a safe birth.
