ANS: D
A normal FHR is 120 to 160 beats per minute. A sustained FHR of below 100 beats per minute is indicative of fetal jeopardy. If there is a question of whether the FHR is being adequately evaluated, the maternal pulse should simultaneously be assessed to ensure that the FHR, not the maternal heart rate, is actually being auscultated.
