OB - Fall - ch. 51 Fetal Growth Assessment by
U/S(Correctly solved)
amniotic fluid index correct answerssum of the four quadrants of amniotic fluid.
biophysical profile correct answersassessment of fetus to determine fetal well-being; includes
evaluation of cardiac nonstress test, fetal breathing movement, gross fetal body movements, fetal
tone, and amniotic fluid volume.
estimated fetal weight correct answersincorporation of all fetal growth parameters.
intrauterine growth restriction correct answersdecreased rate of fetal growth; may be
symmetrical or asymmetrical.
large for gestational age correct answersfetus measures larger than dates (i.e. diabetic fetus)
macrosomia correct answersbirth weight greater than 4000g or above 90th percentile for the
estimated gestational age.
nonstress test correct answersuses Doptone to record the fetal heart rate and its reactivity to the
stress of uterine contraction.
placental grade correct answerstechnique of grading the placenta for maturity.
postterm correct answersfetus born later than 42 weeks gestational period.
preterm correct answersfetus born earlier than the normal 38-42 weeks gestational period.
pulsed wave Doppler correct answerstype of Doppler used in most fetal exams; the transducer
can both send and receive signals.
small for gestational age correct answersnormal fetus measures smaller than dates.
*10 correct answers*intrauterine growth restriction is most commonly defined as a fetal weight
at or below ____% for a given gestational age.
*identify the most significant maternal factors for IUGR: correct answers*previous IUGR
pregnancy, maternal HTN, smoking, UT anomaly, placental hemorrhage
*BPD, HC, AC, FL correct answers*identify the structures that should be measured to determine
gestational age during the second or third trimester: ____ ____ ____ ____.
*symmetrical correct answers*_________ IUGR is usually the result of a first trimester insult,
such as chromosomal abnormality or infection.
