ANSWERS| ACE YOUR GRADES.
Which of the following is incorrect communication and
documentation strategies for NST classifications:
a.Normal NST - classification assigned when NST is done and
signed off by the most responsible health care provider in 48
hours.
b.Normal NST - classification assigned when NST is done and
signed off by the most responsible health care provider in 24
hours.
c.Abnormal NST - classification assigned when NST is done and
NST should be viewed by the attending physician or primary care
provider and documented immediately.
d.Atypical NST - classification assigned when NST is done and
results communicated to the primary care provider at the time the
classification is apparent. - correct answer -a.Normal NST -
classification assigned when NST is done and signed off by the
most responsible health care provider in 48 hours.

Atypical classification.
b. 4 contractions per 10 minutes lasting 50-60 seconds, intensity
