Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Accelerations are increases in the fetal heart rate (FHR) above the baseline, typically in response to fetal movement or uterine contractions. They indicate a healthy, well-oxygenated

fetus and are not consistent with the described pattern of decelerations.

Choice B rationale

Late decelerations are characterized by a gradual decrease in FHR that begins after the contraction has started, with the lowest point of the deceleration (nadir) occurring after the

peak of the contraction. They are associated with uteroplacental insufficiency and fetal hypoxia, which is not described in the scenario.

Choice C rationale

Early decelerations are a gradual decrease in FHR that mirrors the contraction, starting with the contraction and returning to baseline as the contraction ends. The nadir of the

deceleration occurs at the peak of the contraction, which fits the pattern described.

Choice D rationale

Variable decelerations are abrupt decreases in FHR that can occur at any time during the contraction cycle, usually due to umbilical cord compression. They are not uniform in

relation to contractions and can vary in duration, depth, and timing, unlike the described pattern.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Elevated WBC count is not typically associated with HELLP syndrome. HELLP syndrome involves hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count.

Choice B rationale

Elevated platelet count is not a feature of HELLP syndrome. In fact, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) is a hallmark of the condition.

Choice C rationale

Decreased BUN is not a characteristic of HELLP syndrome. The syndrome primarily affects liver function and platelets.

Choice D rationale

Elevated liver enzymes are a key diagnostic feature of HELLP syndrome, reflecting liver dysfunction and damage, which is part of the condition's pathology. .
