After several hours of labor, the electronic fetal monitor (EFM) shows repetitive variable decelerations in the fetal heart rate. You would interpret the decelerations to be consistent with:
1. Breech presentation.
2. Uteroplacental insufficiency.
3. Compression of the fetal head.
4. Umbilical cord comprehension.
4
Rationale:
1. Breech presentations by themselves do not cause decelerations.
2. Uteroplacental insufficiency causes late decelerations.
3. Early decelerations occur with fetal head compression.
4. Variable decelerations occur when there is umbilical cord compression.
