Ati PN Maternal Newborn 2023 ( 53 Questions)
A nurse in a provider’s office is reinforcing teaching with a client who is pregnant and is scheduled for a nonstress test.
Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
There is no need to fast before a nonstress test. The test measures the fetal heart rate in response to fetal movements and does not require any dietary restrictions.
During a nonstress test, the client will press a button whenever they feel the baby move. This helps correlate fetal movements with heart rate changes.
The client is not required to lie flat on their back for the duration of the test. They can be in a semi-reclined position to ensure comfort and avoid supine hypotensive syndrome.
Medication to stimulate contractions is not used during a nonstress test. This is done during a contraction stress test, which is a different procedure.
