3-4 lb in first trimester
1 lb per week in the last two trimesters
⫸ Foods high in folic acid are: Answer: Leafy vegetables

of folic acid. Answer: 500
⫸ What vitamin aids in the absorption of Iron? Answer: Vitamin C
⫸ The clients bladder needs to be _____ before an ultrasound. Answer:
Full
,⫸ biophysical profile (BPP) normal score is Answer: A biophysical
profile (BPP) test measures the health of your baby (fetus) during
pregnancy.
8-10
⫸ BPP abnormal score is Answer: <4
⫸ If a BPP comes back as 6..... Answer: It should be retested
⫸ BPP assess for Answer: Fetal well being
⫸ non-stress test ( NST) Answer: most widely used technique for
antepartum evaluation of fetal well being performed during the third
trimester.
⫸ Reactive NST Answer: FHR is a normal baseline rate with moderate
variablity
Two accelerations to 15 bpm for at least 15 secs in 20 min period
⫸ A non reactive NST would indicate what about the fetus? Answer:
The fetal heart rate does not accelerate adequately with fetal movement.
-A BPP or CST will need to be done now
⫸ Positive CST is normal or abnormal Answer: abnormal
, The contraction stress test — also called a stress test or an oxytocin
challenge test — may be done during pregnancy to measure the baby's
heart rate during uterine contractions. Its purpose is to make sure the
baby can get the oxygen he needs from the placenta during labor.
⫸ Positive CST is indicated when: Answer: Persistent and consistent
late decels on more than half of the contractions.
⫸ An amniocentesis may be performed when? Answer: After 14 weeks
gestation
⫸ AFP can be measured from the amniotic fluid between: Answer: 16
and 18 weeks
alpha-fetoprotein
⫸ Presence of PG on a fetal lung test is associated with: Answer:
Respiratory distress
⫸ CVS can be done at Answer: 10-12 weeks
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test that diagnoses
chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, as well as a host
of other genetic disorders. The doctor takes cells from tiny fingerlike
projections on your placenta called the chorionic villi and sends them to
a lab for genetic analysis.
