Fetal well-being during labor can be measured by the response of the FHR to UCs. In general, reassuring FHR patterns are characterized by an FHR baseline in the range of 110 to 160 beats/min with no periodic changes, a moderate baseline variability, and accelerations with fetal movement. Maternal pain control is not the measure used to determine fetal well-being in labor. Although FHR accelerations are a reassuring pattern, they are only one component of the criteria by which fetal well-being is assessed. Although an FHR greater than 110 beats/min may be reassuring, it is only one component of the criteria by which fetal well-being is assessed. More information is needed to determine fetal well-being.). What is one of the characteristics of a reassuring fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern during labor, as mentioned in the passage?
A. FHR baseline in the range of 110 to 160 beats/min
B. Maternal pain control
C. FHR greater than 110 beats/min
D. Absence of periodic changes in FHR
