Correct. Remember, the baseline is the average heart rate rounded to the nearest five bpm.

Correct. Minimal variability is defined as 5 bpm or less fluctuation around the baseline. Minimal variability is usually a normal variant and may be related to sleep cycles, drugs, prematurity, etc. Occassionally it is associated with hypoxia.

Correct. There is a single variable deceleration present. This should be further described by its depth and duration (e.g., to 130 bpm lasting about 25 seconds).

Correct. It is reassuring overall but not reactive. Neither a single variable deceleration nor the presence of minimal variability are nonreassuring, but the tracing should be watched closely.
