Sample item

What does a reassuring baseline fetal heart rate generally indicate?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

C. Adequate fetal oxygenation at that time

The core Fetal monitoring principle supports Adequate fetal oxygenation at that time; it best explains the clinical feature or management priority stated in this original sample.

Option by option

  • A. Guaranteed absence of anomalies

    Guaranteed absence of anomalies does not align with the expected fetal monitoring finding or action.

  • B. Fetal sex

    Fetal sex is not supported by the condition or priority described.

  • C. Adequate fetal oxygenation at that time (correct)

    Correct. Adequate fetal oxygenation at that time directly addresses the important clue in the stem.

  • D. Maternal infection only

    Maternal infection only may be considered elsewhere but is not the best response here.
