NURS 456 Fetal Assessment Questions with
Correct Verified Solutions
transvaginal ultrasound
allows pelvic anatomy to be evaluated in greater detail and intrauterine pregnancy diagnosed
earlier
•Particularly useful in obese women
•Ideal in 1st trimester to detect ectopic pregnancy, developing embryo, gestational age
6 weeks
FHR can be heard as early as ____________ weeks with transvaginal;
perfusion
what affects how much the fetus moves?
mother doing drugs, smoking, poor diet, HTN, diabetes esp type 1
name some things that can affect the placenta which affects perfusion to the baby:
oligohydramnios
too little amniotic fluid
•cog anomalies, growth restriction, and fetal distress
what does too little amniotic fluid cause?
Polyhydramnios
excessive amniotic fluid
, neural tube defects, obstruction of the fetal GI tract, multiple fetuses, fetal hydrops
what does excessive amniotic fluid cause?
nuchal translucency
a collection of fluid that extends behind the fetal neck and along the spine in the first trimester
Nuchal translucency screening
Ultrasound screening to measure fetal nuchal folds to assess for potential Down syndrome or
cardiac defects
12 hrs
how long is too long without fetal movement?
10
it is rare for healthy baby to have less than _________ kicks in 2 hrs
quickening
moms perception of fetal movement. Should feel this at about 20 weeks.
20 weeks
when is the fetal anatomy ultrasound performed that identifies gender?
3 mm
greater then __________ mm on the nuchal transluency test is abnormal
Top
where should the placenta be attached?
