A(n)__________ is a device used to monitor the baby's heartbeat throughout labor.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fetal monitor is specifically designed to measure the fetal heartbeat during labor and delivery. An apnea indicator measures a baby's breathing patterns, a uterine contraction tracker monitors the strength, frequency and duration of contractions, and an anoxia assessment device is used to determine if a baby is getting enough oxygen. None of these devices specifically monitor the baby's heartbeat during labor like a fetal monitor does.
