ANS: A
After a seizure, all fetuses must be checked and accounted for. Fetal heart rate may show variability or bradycardia. A fetal heart rate of 98 is bradycardic, and the nurse should intervene immediately. Oxygen saturation of 94 is normal, a postictal patient will be drowsy and difficult to arouse, and a respiratory rate of 12 breaths/minute is normal.
