A woman is in active labor. Her cervical dilation is 6 cm. The nurse notes that the fetal heart rate (FHR) slows from its baseline of 144 beats per minute (bpm) to 126 bpm with the acme of the contraction.
 
  The FHR then returns to its baseline by the end of the contraction. The nurse understands that this indicates: A. Fetal hypoxia.
   B. Fetal head compression.
   C. Deterioration of the placental unit.
   D. Maternal hypoxia.
