As part of a biophysical profile, "ultrasound" is used to evaluate fetal activities. Which activities should be noted?
- A.
Heart rate
- B.
Breathing
- C.
Gross body movements
- D.
Baby picking its nose
- E.
Amniotic fluid evaluation
- F.
Tone
Correct Answer(s)
B. Breathing
C. Gross body movements
E. Amniotic fluid evaluation
F. ToneExplanation
As part of a biophysical profile, ultrasound is used to evaluate fetal activities. The activities that should be noted include breathing, gross body movements, amniotic fluid evaluation, and tone. These activities provide important information about the well-being and development of the fetus. The heart rate is also an important factor to monitor, but it is not listed as one of the activities to be noted in this question. The activity of the baby picking its nose is not relevant to the evaluation of fetal activities.Rate this question:

Biophysical profile scoring is _____(#) points out of a possible _____(#) points given in each observed area.
Correct Answer(s)
2, 8Explanation
Biophysical profile scoring is a system used to assess the well-being of a fetus during pregnancy. It evaluates five areas: fetal heart rate, fetal breathing movements, fetal movements, fetal muscle tone, and the amount of amniotic fluid. Each area is given a score of 0 or 2, with a maximum total score of 8. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 points out of a possible 8 points given in each observed area.Rate this question:

Biophysical Scoring: Fetal breathing must have _____(#) episode(s) of _____(#) seconds during _____(#) minutes.
Correct Answer(s)
1, 30, 30
one, 30, 30Explanation
This question is asking for the criteria for fetal breathing in biophysical scoring. According to the given answer, there must be one episode of fetal breathing that lasts for 30 seconds, and this episode must occur during a span of 30 minutes.Rate this question:
- 5.
Biophysical Scoring: Gross body movements must have at least _____(#) __________ or ___________ movements in _____(#) minutes.
Correct Answer(s)
3, body, limb, 30
3, limb, body, 30Explanation
This question is asking for the criteria for gross body movements in biophysical scoring. According to the correct answer, there must be at least 3 body or limb movements in 30 minutes.Rate this question:
- 6.
Biophysical Scoring: Fetal tone must observe at least _____(#) episode(s) of ___________ of body with returned ___________.
Correct Answer(s)
1, extension, flexionExplanation
The correct answer is 1 episode of extension and flexion. This means that during the assessment of fetal tone, there should be at least one instance where the fetus extends and then flexes its body. This movement is indicative of good muscle tone and overall fetal well-being.Rate this question:
- 7.
Biophysical Scoring: AFV (amniotic fluid volume) must show at least _____(#) amniotic fluid pocket(s) measuring at least _____(#) cm in vertical axis.
Correct Answer(s)
1, 2
1, 2.0Explanation
The correct answer is 1, 2. This means that in order for the AFV (amniotic fluid volume) to be considered normal, there must be at least 1 amniotic fluid pocket measuring at least 2 cm in the vertical axis.Rate this question:
- 8.
Biophysical Scoring: If using AFI (amniotic fluid index), values above _____(#) cm receive full score of _____(#), less than that will receive _____(#).
Correct Answer(s)
5, 2, 0Explanation
The correct answer is 5, 2, 0. In biophysical scoring, if the AFI (amniotic fluid index) value is above 5 cm, it receives a full score of 2. If the AFI value is less than 5 cm, it receives a score of 0.Rate this question:

Biophysical profiles are designed to detect fetal compromise under many high risk circumstances. Choose the types of high risk situations it is used for.
- A.
Decreased fetal movement
- B.
IUGR
- C.
Hypertension
- D.
PROM
- E.
Post dates
- F.
Polyhydramnios
- G.
Oligohydramnios
- H.
Maternal diabetes
- I.
Rh incompatibility
Correct Answer(s)
A. Decreased fetal movement
B. IUGR
C. Hypertension
E. Post dates
F. Polyhydramnios
G. Oligohydramnios
H. Maternal diabetes
I. Rh incompatibilityExplanation
Biophysical profiles are used to detect fetal compromise in various high risk situations such as decreased fetal movement, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), hypertension, post dates (being past the due date), polyhydramnios (excessive amniotic fluid), oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid), maternal diabetes, and Rh incompatibility. These situations can potentially affect the well-being of the fetus, and the biophysical profile is a tool used to assess the fetal health and determine appropriate interventions if needed.Rate this question:

The "non-sonographic" component of the biophysical profile that monitors fetal heart rate accelerations associated with fetal movement is called the ________ - ________ ________.
Correct Answer(s)
Non Stress Test
Non-Stress TestExplanation
The "non-sonographic" component of the biophysical profile that monitors fetal heart rate accelerations associated with fetal movement is called the Non Stress Test (NST).Rate this question:
- 11.
Healthy fetal movements are associated with a(n) ___________ (increase or decrease?) in fetal heart rate.
Correct Answer(s)
increaseExplanation
Healthy fetal movements are associated with an increase in fetal heart rate. This is because when the fetus moves, it requires more oxygen and nutrients, which leads to an increase in blood flow to the placenta. As a result, the heart rate of the fetus increases to meet the increased demand for oxygen and nutrients. This increase in fetal heart rate is a positive sign of a healthy and active fetus.Rate this question:
- 12.
Usual baseline fetal heart rate is between _____(#) to _____(#) BPM.
Correct Answer(s)
120, 160Explanation
The usual baseline fetal heart rate is between 120 to 160 BPM. This range is considered normal for a healthy fetus. A baseline fetal heart rate below 120 BPM or above 160 BPM may indicate potential issues with the fetus's health and should be further investigated by a healthcare professional. Monitoring the fetal heart rate is an important part of prenatal care to ensure the well-being of the baby.Rate this question:

The result that is desired from a non-stress test is:
- A.
Reactive NST
- B.
Non-Reactive NST
Correct Answer
A. Reactive NSTExplanation
A reactive non-stress test (NST) is a desired result because it indicates that the baby's heart rate is normal and accelerates appropriately with movement. This suggests that the baby is receiving enough oxygen and nutrients, and there are no signs of distress. It is a reassuring sign of the baby's well-being and indicates a healthy pregnancy.Rate this question:

A reactive NST will have ___________ FHR baseline and at least _____(#) FHR accelerations within _____(#) minutes.
Correct Answer
normal, 2, 20Explanation
A reactive NST will have a normal FHR baseline and at least 2 FHR accelerations within 20 minutes. This means that the fetal heart rate is within the normal range and there are at least two instances of increased heart rate within a 20-minute timeframe. This is considered a positive result and indicates a healthy and responsive fetal heart.Rate this question:
- 15.
A non-reactive NST will have ________ FHR accelerations observed. *(Baseline FHR is outside or within normal range)
Correct Answer
No
0Explanation
A non-reactive NST means that there are no FHR accelerations observed. This indicates that the fetus is not responding to stimuli and may be experiencing distress. Therefore, the correct answer is "No, 0" FHR accelerations observed.Rate this question:
- 16.
An ___________ reactivity will have less than 2 FHR accelerations within 20 minutes and FHR abnormalities (ex: tachycardia, bradycardia).
Correct Answer
uncertainExplanation
An uncertain reactivity refers to a fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring pattern that shows less than 2 FHR accelerations within a span of 20 minutes, along with FHR abnormalities such as tachycardia (high heart rate) or bradycardia (low heart rate). This indicates a lack of a clear and consistent response of the fetal heart rate to stimuli, making it difficult to determine the overall well-being of the fetus.Rate this question:
