QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS 2026
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Assessment of Fetal Well-Being. Answer: *safe birth so that they can
develop to their maximum potential
*Preconception care* reduces risks prevent or minimize health problems
*Prenatal assessments* Indications for testing maternal risk factors
Prenatal Diagnostic
⩥ In Antepartum Fetal Testing. Answer: Before any test, parent should
know:
What information will the test provide that is not already known?
How will the information be used in the management of the pregnancy?
What are the risks?
,⩥ Ultrasound Amniotic fluid volume checking for Answer:
(OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS POLYHYDRAMNIOS)
monitor to Identify fetal well-being
⩥ IUGR Answer: Intrauterine growth restriction (retardation)
⩥ EFM Answer: used to record fetal movement and fetal heart rate
accelerations.
⩥ Non Stress Test (NST) Answer: -a test that monitors fetal heart rate. A
positive test would be in which the heart rate accelerates by at least 15
beats per minute for at least 15 seconds, with at least two acceleration
episodes, in a 20 minute period. For "high risk maternal or fetal factors"
⩥ Amniocentesis Answer: Removal of amniotic fluid from the uterine
cavity by inserting a needle through the abdomen into the amniotic sack
under ultrasound guidance.
⩥ Biophysical Profile (BPP) Answer: Evaluation of fetus with a non-
reactive NST
Ultrasound Looks at 5 variables
*Amniotic fluid volume
,*Breathing
*movement Flexion (fine motor)
*Gross movement (motor)
NST Score 0-2 points for each parameter
⩥ Prenatal Visits (Frequency) in Uneventful pregnancy Answer: Every
month for 7 months
Every 2 weeks during the 8th month
Every week during 9th month Each visit may include: Weight and vital
signs Urine checked glucose fetal HR
⩥ gestation Answer: Fundal height = weeks of gestation
⩥ Leopold's Maneuvers Answer: A series of four maneuvers designed to
provide a systematic approach whereby the examiner may determine
fetal presentation and position.
⩥ Quad test- Screening for identification of a risk Answer: Optional test
done between weeks 16 - 18 Neural tube defects
Downs syndrome
trisomy 18
, Offer amniocentesis
Genetic counseling w/Abnormal quad with normal f/u: watch for
perinatal problems
⩥ spinal bifida (neural tube defect) Answer: incomplete closure of the
spinal canal through which the spinal cord and meninges may or may
not protrude
⩥ Anencephaly (neural tube defect) Answer: born without cerebral
hemispheres
⩥ Down's syndrome
Trisomy 18 Test Results Answer: Clarifying and interpreting results
should be carried out collaboratively by all health care providers
involved in the procedure Guidance should be provided for choices and
to consider options
⩥ Fetal Kick Counts Answer: Moms way of evaluating fetal well-being
once or twice a day
number of movements
