, c. the fetal alarm signal should go off when fetal movements stop entirely for 12 hours.
d. obese mothers familiar with their bodies can assess fetal movement as well as average-size women.

9. Nurses should be aware that the biophysical profile (BPP)

b. is a compilation of health risk factors of the mother during the later stages of pregnancy
