2. Incorrect. Early decelerations in the FHR are associated with head compression as the fetus descends into the maternal pelvic outlet and are not generally a concern during normal labor.
3. Incorrect. These FHR findings are normal and not a concern.
4. Correct. Late decelerations are caused by uteroplacental insufficiency and are associated with fetal hypoxemia. They are considered ominous if persistent and uncorrected.
