Correct. The baseline is difficult to determine with this short segment of tracing.

Incorrect. The baseline is difficult to determine with this short segment of tracing. Remember, the baseline is the average heart rate rounded to the nearest five bpm. To review baseline heart rate go to, Baseline.

Correct. Moderate variability is an important reassuring feature of this otherwise nonreassuring tracing.

Incorrect. The answer is moderate. Moderate variability is an important reassuring feature of this otherwise nonreassuring tracing. To review variability go to, Baseline Variability.

Correct. There are no accelerations. Overshoot after a deceleration is not considered an accleration.
