"Your baby's well-being is determined by the amount of movement during the test."




"The test is an assessment for fetal tone and breathing." - answer✔"The test is reflective of your

baby's oxygen status and intact nervous system."




The nonstress test is a widely used method for fetal evaluation, which is based on the knowledge

that when the fetus has adequate oxygenation and an intact central nervous system (CNS),

accelerations of the fetal heart rate (FHR) occur with fetal movement. Measurement of an

amniotic fluid index, fetal movement, fetal tone, and breathing are components of a biophysical

profile.

A patient is admitted for possible preterm labor. The nurse receives a prescription for a

transvaginal ultrasound to be performed by the radiology department.

To evaluate the fetal structures




To evaluate cervical dilation




To evaluate the presenting fetal part - answer✔Correct answer




To detect a shortened cervical length




The primary purpose for a transvaginal ultrasound for the patient suspected of being in preterm

labor is to evaluate the length of the cervix. This evaluation may be helpful in the prediction of

preterm labor. Transvaginal ultrasound can be used early in the pregnancy to evaluate fetal

structures. A transvaginal ultrasound is not specifically used to evaluate cervical dilation or the

presenting fetal part

A patient who is at 36 weeks of gestation asks, "Is it normal to frequently experience discomfort

from gas and have quite a bit of flatulence?"




Which response by the nurse provides the best information?

"Experiencing increased flatulence is normal during pregnancy; daily exercise may help.




"Excessive flatulence is not a normal finding; I will let your healthcare provider know about

your concerns."




"Yes, it is quite normal to experience increased flatulence; eating small and frequent meals may

be helpful.




"Increased flatulence usually diminishes as the pregnancy continues; what type of foods are you

eating?" - answer✔"Experiencing increased flatulence is normal during pregnancy; daily

exercise may help."




The response by the nurse that provides the best information for the patient is, "Experiencing

increased flatulence is normal during pregnancy; daily exercise may help." Decreased

gastrointestinal motility leading to delayed emptying time, pressure of the growing uterus on the

large intestine, and air swallowing are all factors that contribute to increased flatulence. Eating

small, frequent meals helps decrease heartburn. Flatulence does not diminish as the pregnancy

progresses.
