NURS 320 - ATI Exam Questions with correct
answers
Biophysical |profile |(BPP): |- |ANSWER✔✔✔-- |Real-time |ultrasound |to |visualize |physical |and |
physiological |characteristics |of |the |fetus |
- |Observes |for |fetal |biophysical |responses |to |stimuli
Biophysical |profile |(BPP):
- |Scores |- |ANSWER✔✔✔-8-10: |Normal; |low |risk |of |chronic |fetal |asphyxia
4-6: |Abnormal; |suspect |chronic |fetal |asphyxia
<4: |Abnormal; |strongly |suspect |chronic |fetal |asphyxia
Biophysical |profile |(BPP):
- |Categories |- |ANSWER✔✔✔-- |Reactive |FHR
- |Fetal |breathing |movements
- |Gross |body |movements
- |Fetal |tone
,- |Qualitative |amniotic |fluid |volume
Biophysical |profile |(BPP):
- |Indications |- |ANSWER✔✔✔-- |PROM
- |Maternal |infection
- |Decreased |fetal |movement
- |Intrauterine |growth |restriction |(IUGR)
Nonstress |test |(NST): |- |ANSWER✔✔✔-- |Third |trimester
- |Antepartum |evaluation |of |fetal |well-being
*Assesses |the |fetus's |FHR |in |relationship |to |the |fetal |movement
- |Noninvasive |procedure |that |monitors |response |of |the |FHR |to |fetal |movement
- |Doppler |transducer |(monitor |FHR) |and |a |tocotransducer |(monitor |uterine |contractions) |are |
attached |externally |to |a |client's |abdomen |to |obtain |tracing |strips
- |The |client |pushes |a |button |attached |to |the |monitor |whenever |she |feels |a |fetal |movement
Nonstress |test |(NST):
- |Results |- |ANSWER✔✔✔-Reactive:
- |FHR |is |a |normal |baseline |rate
, - |Moderate |variability, |accelerates |to |15 |beats/minute |for |at |least |15 |seconds |and |occurs |two |
or |more |times |during |a |20-minute |period
Nonreactive:
- |Fetal |heart |rate |does |not |accelerate |adequately |with |fetal |movement
- |It |does |not |meet |the |above |criteria |after |40 |minutes
- |If |a |nonreactive |result |occurs, |a |further |assessment, |such |as |a |contraction |stress |test |(CST) |or
|biophysical |profile |(BPP), |is |indicated
Nonstress |test |(NST):
- |Nursing |Actions |- |ANSWER✔✔✔-Position:
- |Seat |the |client |in |a |reclining |chair
- |Semi-Fowler's |or |left-lateral |position
Apply |conduction |gel |to |the |client's |abdomen
Apply |two |belts |to |the |client's |abdomen, |and |attach |the |FHR |and |uterine |contraction |monitors
Instruct |the |client |to |press |the |button |on |the |handheld |event |marker |each |time |she |feels |the |
fetus |move
If |there |are |no |fetal |movements |(fetus |sleeping), |vibroacoustic |stimulation |(sound |source, |
usually |laryngeal |stimulator) |may |be |activated |for |3 |seconds |on |the |maternal |abdomen |over |
the |fetal |head |to |awaken |a |sleeping |fetus
