◉ What aids iron absorption?

◉ a postpartum woman who is breastfeeding and doesnt like milk
needs....
Answer: calcium supplements
,◉ Biophysical Profile (BPP)
Answer: Assessment of five variables in the fetus with a score of 2
for each normal finding and 0 for each abnormal finding
FHR- reactive 2, nonreactive 0
FETAL BREATHING MOVEMENTS- at least on episode of greater
than 30 seconds duration in 30 min =2
GROSS BODY MOVEMENTS- at least three body or limb extensions
with return to flexion in 30 min=2
FETAL TONE- at least one episode of extension with return to flexion
=2
QUALITIVE AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME- at least one pocket of fluid
that measures at least 2 cm in two perpendicular planes =2
◉ Biophysical profile scoring
Answer: 8-10: Normal
4-6: Suspect chronic asphyxia
0-4: Strongly suspect asphyxia
◉ Nonstress test (NST)
Answer: antepartum evaluation of fetal well being performed during
third trimester. monitors response of FHR to fetal movement
accelerates 15/min for at least 15 seconds
, ◉ amniocentesis
Answer: aspiration of amniotic fluid for analysis by insertion of a
needle transabdominally into a client's uterus and amniotic sac
under direct ultrasound guidance
