Week 4 EAQ/HESIs Flashcards
The nurse performs a nonstress test to evaluate fetal well-being. The client is getting nervous and anxious with the situation. She asks the nurse why she is doing a nonstress test. What is the nurse’s best response?
It measures the oxygen levels of the fetus.
Accelerations of the fetal heart rate in response to uterine contractions.
It evaluates the heart rate of the fetus in response to its own movements.
Late decelerations of the fetal heart rate in response to uterine contractions.
It evaluates the heart rate of the fetus in response to its own movements.
The basis for the nonstress test is that the normal fetus with an intact central nervous system (CNS) will respond to fetal movements with an increased heart rate (episodic accelerations). A reactive test is one in which the fetus displays at least two accelerations of 15 beats per minute that last for 15 seconds in a 20-minute period in the presence of a normal baseline rate and moderate variability.
The client asks the nurse why she is getting magnesium sulfate. What is the the nurse’s best response?
“It is a ________________ depressant given to prevent seizures.”
