Which is the rationale for thisaction?Incorrect: A nuchal cord (cord around the neck) is associated with variable decelerations, not latedecelerations.Incorrect: Variable decelerations (not late decelerations) are associated with cord compression.Incorrect: Late decelerations are a result of hypoxia. They are not reflective of the strength ofmaternal contractions.Correct: Late decelerations are associated with uteroplacental insufficiency and are a signof fetal hypoxia.
