b) 4, 2, 2, 1, 1
c) 4, 1, 1, 1, 1
d) 3, 2, 1, 2, 1
What variables are assessed in a biophysical profile?
a)
Fetal breathing, heart rate reactivity, muscle tone, body movements, and amniotic fluid volume
b) Fetal weight, length, breathing, heart rate, muscle tone, and body movements
c) Fetal weight, breathing, heart rate, muscle tone, body movements, and amniotic fluid
d) Fetal length, breathing, heart rate, muscle tone, body movements, and amniotic fluid volume
Which of the following is the primary purpose of performing a non
What does the NST look for? The primary goal of the test is to measure the heart rate of the fetus in response to its own movements. Healthy babies will respond with an increased heart rate during times of movement, and the heart rate will decrease at rest.
What are three indications for conducting a non
Indications for the prenatal non-stress test include [3]:.
Fetal growth restriction..
Diabetes mellitus, pre-gestational and gestational diabetes treated with drugs..
Hypertensive disorder, chronic hypertension, and preeclampsia..
Decreased fetal movement..
Post-term pregnancy..
Multiple pregnancies..
What is a positive non
The test measures the heart rate of an unborn baby as the baby moves in the uterus. In most healthy babies, the heart rate, also known as the fetal heart rate, increases during movement. If your nonstress test results showed that the heart rate was not normal, it may mean that your baby is not getting enough oxygen.
Is non
This type of test is usually done when the fetus is considered high-risk. A non-stress test is noninvasive and does not pose any type of risk to the pregnant person or the fetus. If the test is failed, it usually indicates that more tests, further monitoring, or special care orders will be needed.
