A nurse is analyzing fetal cord blood results. If the fetal blood pH is less than 7.25, the nurse can conclude that the fetus was:
1. Acidotic and hypoxic.
2. Alkalotic and hypoxic.
3. Well oxygenated.
4. Alkalotic but well oxygenated.
1
Rationale:
1. Normal fetal blood pH should be above 7.25. Lower levels indicate acidosis and hypoxia.
2. Normal fetal blood pH should be above 7.25. Lower levels indicate acidosis and hypoxia.
3. Normal fetal blood pH should be above 7.25. Lower levels indicate acidosis and hypoxia.
4. Normal fetal blood pH should be above 7.25. Lower levels indicate acidosis and hypoxia.
