pt is around 20 weeks, so…

well, the criteria is at least 2 accelerations and no decelerations (early decels are fine)

in this situation, the criteria has not been met, so continue to watch for another 40 minutes. If the criteria has not been met after 1 hour then the NST is determined non-reactive.
