- An increase in the heart rate
- An increase in stroke volume
- No change - Answer-a. A decrease in the heart rate
The vagus nerve begins maturation 26 to 28 weeks. Its dominance results in what effect to the FHR baseline?

external monitor tracings. - Answer-True
T/F: Variability and periodic changes can be detected with
both internal and external monitoring. - Answer-True

include true knots, hematomas, and number of umbilical vessels. - Answer-True
T/F: Low amplitude contractions are not an early sign of
