NEW 2025
Biophysical profile (BPP): - ANSWER - Real-time ultrasound to visualize
physical and physiological characteristics of the fetus
- Observes for fetal biophysical responses to stimuli
Biophysical profile (BPP):
- Scores - ANSWER 8-10: Normal; low risk of chronic fetal asphyxia
4-6: Abnormal; suspect chronic fetal asphyxia
<4: Abnormal; strongly suspect chronic fetal asphyxia
Biophysical profile (BPP):
- Categories - ANSWER - Reactive FHR
- Fetal breathing movements
- Gross body movements
,- Fetal tone
- Qualitative amniotic fluid volume
Biophysical profile (BPP):
- Indications - ANSWER - PROM
- Maternal infection
- Decreased fetal movement
- Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
Nonstress test (NST): - ANSWER - Third trimester
- Antepartum evaluation of fetal well-being
*Assesses the fetus's FHR in relationship to the fetal movement
- Noninvasive procedure that monitors response of the FHR to fetal movement
- Doppler transducer (monitor FHR) and a tocotransducer (monitor uterine
contractions) are attached externally to a client's abdomen to obtain tracing strips
, - The client pushes a button attached to the monitor whenever she feels a fetal
movement
Nonstress test (NST):
- Results - ANSWER Reactive:
- FHR is a normal baseline rate
- Moderate variability, accelerates to 15 beats/minute for at least 15 seconds and
occurs two or more times during a 20-minute period
Nonreactive:
- Fetal heart rate does not accelerate adequately with fetal movement
- It does not meet the above criteria after 40 minutes
- If a nonreactive result occurs, a further assessment, such as a contraction stress
test (CST) or biophysical profile (BPP), is indicated
Nonstress test (NST):
- Nursing Actions - ANSWER Position:
- Seat the client in a reclining chair
- Semi-Fowler's or left-lateral position
Apply conduction gel to the client's abdomen
