1
Missed

inevitable abortion can be confirmed only if vaginal examination reveals cervical
dilation. With an incomplete abortion some, but not all, of the products of conception
have been expelled.

stillbirth. She is seen in the antepartum testing unit for a nonstress test (NST) at 33
weeks' gestation. What are the primary risk factors in the client's history that indicate
a need for the NST? Select all that apply.
1
Age greater than 35 years
2
The risk for placenta previa
3
The risk for placental insufficiency
4
A history of stillbirth from her last pregnancy
5
Maternal history of hypertension - ANSWER 345
Pregnant women with diabetes are prone to placental insufficiency, which can
threaten fetal well-being. In addition, history of stillbirth is also an indication for NST.
In addition, maternal conditions that can affect placental perfusion such as
hypertension is an indication for a NST. Advanced maternal age alone is not an
indicator for an NST; although advanced maternal age increases the risk of placenta
previa, it is not the primary reason for having an NST.
