8-10
BPP abnormal score is (correct answer) <4
If a BPP comes back as 6..... (correct answer) It should be retested
BPP assess for (correct answer) Fetal well being
non-stress test ( NST) (correct answer) most widely used technique for antepartum evaluation of
fetal well being performed during the third trimester.
Reactive NST (correct answer) FHR is a normal baseline rate with moderate variablity
Two accelerations to 15 bpm for at least 15 secs in 20 min period

The contraction stress test — also called a stress test or an oxytocin challenge test — may be
done during pregnancy to measure the baby's heart rate during uterine contractions. Its purpose is
to make sure the baby can get the oxygen he needs from the placenta during labor.

CVS can be done at (correct answer) 10-12 weeks
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test that diagnoses chromosomal abnormalities
such as Down syndrome, as well as a host of other genetic disorders. The doctor takes cells from
tiny fingerlike projections on your placenta called the chorionic villi and sends them to a lab for
genetic analysis.
