Prenatal diagnosis and care: The Daily PANCE Blueprint

A 27-year-old woman at 30 weeks of gestation presents for a routine prenatal visit. She has no significant medical history and her pregnancy has been uncomplicated. The fetal heart rate (FHR) is auscultated on examination using a Doppler device. Which of the following is the normal range for fetal heart rate?

A. 60-100 bpm
B. 110-160 bpm
C. 90-120 bpm
D. 140-180 bpm
E. 170-210 bpm

Answer and topic summary

The answer is B. 110-160 beats per minute

The normal range for fetal heart rate (FHR) is 110-160 beats per minute. This range is considered normal and indicates a healthy, well-oxygenated fetus. Variations within this range can occur due to fetal activity, sleep cycles, and other factors, but consistently staying within this range is a sign of good fetal health.
