Chapter 26: Antepartal testing Flashcards
a ______ risk factor originates from the mother or fetus and impacts the development or function of the mother/ fetus
biophysical
maternal conditions that would require antepartum testing
HTN Renal disease cardiac disease diabetes lupus
when does antepartum testing usually begin
32/34 weeks
a _______ is a noninvasive test that monitors fetal movement
daily fetal movement count
daily fetal movement count is commonly used to monitor the fetus in pregnancies that are ______
complicated by conditions that affect fetal oxygenation
during the third trimester the fetus makes about _____ gross motor movements in an hour. Mommy can recognize ______ % of these
30; 70-80%
a count of _____ fetal movements or less in an hour warrants further testing
3
what test is done if fetal movements are less than 3 in an hour
nonstress test or contraction test and a complete or modified biophysical profile.
______ is the use of high frequency sound waves to produce an image of organs or tissues
ultrasonography
Standard ultrasonography in second and third trimesters looks for: (5 major things)
AFV, cardiac activity, placental position, fetal growth, number of fetuses
______ ultrasonography are performed to determine a specific piece of information about the pregnancy such as AFV
limited
fetal heart activity can be heard at about six weeks when using ________ ultrasound
transvaginal
what do they measure with an ultrasound to determine gestational age in the first trimester
crown-rump length
what do they measure with an ultrasound to determine gestational age after the first trimester
biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur length
a __________ screening uses ultrasound to measure the fluid in the nape of the fetal neck between 10-14 weeks to identify fetal abnormalities
nuchal translucency (NT)
a fluid collection of more than _____ mm on a nuchal translucency is abnormal
3mm
elevated NT (nuchal translucency) indicates:
chromosomal abnormalities including trisomy 13, 18, and 21
______ uses systolic/diastolic flow ratios and resistance to estimate blood flow in arteries
doppler blood flow analysis
a fundal height that is small for gestation and a fetus that is easily palpated suggests:
oligohydramnios (decreased AFV)
fundal height that is large for gestational age and a fetus that cannot be palpated or that is ballotable suggests:
polyhydramnios (hydraminos)
pockets of amniotic fluid less than 1 - 2 cm indicates:
oligohydramnios
pockets of amniotic fluid measuring more than 8 cm indicates:
polyhydramnios
how is amniotic fluid index measured
vertical depths in all four quadrants surrounding the maternal umbilicus get totaled together
An AFI of _____ is oligohydramnios
less than 5 cm
an AFI of ______ is polyhydramnios
25
oligohydramnios is associated with what conditions:
congenital defects and pre-labor ruptured membranes
polyhydramnios is associated with what conditions:
multiple fetuses, fetal hydrops,
