Select the one best answer to each question (unless otherwise instructed).
An abnormal contraction stress test result means that within a 10-minute period
All of the following elements are part of a biophysical profile except
For which of the following pregnant women would a nonstress test be indicated?
A pregnant woman has been recording fetal activity. She reports that her fetus has moved much less often than usual that day. You check the fetal heart rate and find it is 136 beats/ min. What else should be done that day?
The contraction stress test is used to assess
All these statements about biophysical profile testing are accurate except
Fetal heart rate response to auditory stimulation may be used as an indication of fetal well-being.
A contraction stress test can be done only after the membranes have ruptured.
Turning a woman on her side may correct an abnormal fetal heart rate pattern.
Variable fetal heart rate decelerations are probably due to compression of the umbilical cord.
Early fetal heart rate decelerations are usually not associated with fetal compromise.
An abnormal nonstress test result should be followed by a contraction stress test or biophysical profile.
A normal nonstress test result occurs when there are no fetal heart rate accelerations with fetal activity.
Fetal bradycardia is a baseline heart rate less than 110 beats/min.
Fetal heart rate accelerations during a scalp stimulation test indicate the fetus is acidotic.
In which of the following situations is internal fetal monitoring contraindicated?
Fetal tachycardia, without accompanying decelerations, may be caused by
Loss of fetal heart rate variability may be caused by all of the following factors except
In which of these situations would fetal activity determinations be most helpful?
