Answer 1

The fetal monitor will exhibit late decelerations.

          Uterine rupture refers to the constant tearing of the uterus wall, which leads to the expulsion of the fetus from the uterus. If this is suspected by the nurse, she can view the phenomena on the fetal monitor.

            Late decelerations refer to the gradual slowing down of the heart rate of the fetus. This indicates the fact that life is slowly going out of the fetus. It is indicated by the typical uterine contractions that take place.

            Due to the low supply of blood to the placenta, fetal acidemia can take place. It refers to the increase in the level of acid in the fetus's blood.
