A woman is undergoing a nipple-stimulated contraction stress
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
test (CST). She is having contractions that occur every 3 minutes.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
The fetal heart rate (FHR) has a baseline of approximately 120
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
beats/min without any decelerations. The interpretation of this
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
test is said to be
i,- i,- i,- i,-
a. negative.
i,-
b. positive.
i,-
c. satisfactory.
i,-
d. unsatisfactory.
i,- i,-i,- i,- negative.
Adequate uterine activity necessary for a CST consists of the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
presence of three contractions in a 10-minute time frame. If no
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
decelerations are observed in the FHR pattern with the i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
contractions, the findings are considered to be negative. A
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
positive CST indicates the presence of repetitive later FHR
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
decelerations. Satisfactory and unsatisfactory are not applicable
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
terms.
,When nurses help their expectant mothers assess the daily fetal
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
movement counts, they should be aware that i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
a. alcohol or cigarette smoke can irritate the fetus into greater
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
activity.
b. ―kick counts‖ should be taken every half hour and averaged
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
every 6 hours, with every other 6-hour stretch off.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
c. the fetal alarm signal should go off when fetal movements stop
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
entirely for 12 hours. i,- i,- i,-
d. obese mothers familiar with their bodies can assess fetal
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
movement as well as average-size women. the fetal alarm
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
signal should go off when fetal movements stop entirely for 12
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
hours.
No movement in a 12-hour period is cause for investigation and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
possibly intervention. Alcohol and cigarette smoke temporarily
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
reduce fetal movement. The mother should count fetal activity
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
(―kick counts‖) two or three times daily for 60 minutes each
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
time. Obese women have a harder time assessing fetal movement.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
In comparing the abdominal and transvaginal methods of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
ultrasound examination, nurses should explain to their patients
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
that
a. both require the woman to have a full bladder.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
,b. the abdominal examination is more useful in the first trimester.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
c. initially the transvaginal examination can be painful.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
d. the transvaginal examination allows pelvic anatomy to be
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
evaluated in greater detail. the transvaginal examination
i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
allows pelvic anatomy to be evaluated in greater detail.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
The transvaginal examination allows pelvic anatomy to be
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
evaluated in greater detail and allows intrauterine pregnancies to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
be diagnosed earlier. The abdominal examination requires a full
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
bladder; the transvaginal examination requires an empty bladder.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
The transvaginal examination is more useful in the first trimester;
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
the abdominal examination works better after the first trimester.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Neither method should be painful, although with the transvaginal
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
examination the woman feels pressure as the probe is moved. i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
In the first trimester, ultrasonography can be used to gain
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
information on i,-
a. amniotic fluid volume.
i,- i,- i,-
b. location of gestational sacs.
i,- i,- i,- i,-
c. placental location and maturity.
i,- i,- i,- i,-
d. cervical length.
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- location of gestational sacs. i,- i,- i,-
During the first trimester, ultrasound examination is performed to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
obtain information regarding the number, size, and location of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
, gestational sacs; the presence or absence of fetal cardiac and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
body movements; the presences or absence of uterine
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
abnormalities (e.g., bicornuate uterus or fibroids) or adnexal i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
masses (e.g., ovarian cysts or an ectopic pregnancy); and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
pregnancy dating. i,-
Nurses should be aware that the biophysical profile (BPP)
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
a. is an accurate indicator of impending fetal death.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
b. is a compilation of health risk factors of the mother during the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
later stages of pregnancy.
i,- i,- i,-
c. consists of a Doppler blood flow analysis and an amniotic fluid
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
index.
d. involves an invasive form of ultrasound examination.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- is an i,- i,-
accurate indicator of impending fetal death. i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
An abnormal BPP score is an indication that labor should be
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
induced. The BPP evaluates the health of the fetus, requires many
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
different measures, and is a noninvasive procedure.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Compared with contraction stress test (CST), nonstress test (NST)
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
for antepartum fetal assessment
i,- i,- i,-
a. has no known contraindications.
