A nurse is interpreting the results of a biophysical profile (BPP) for a client who is at 34 weeks of gestation.
The nurse should understand that each of the five variables is assigned a score of how many points?
Each variable can have a score of either 0 or 2, not 0 or.
Each of the five variables in a biophysical profile (BPP) is assigned a score of either 0 or 2 points, depending on whether it meets the criteria or not. The five variables are: Fetal breathing: 2 points if there is at least one episode of rhythmic breathing lasting at least 30 seconds within 30 minutes, 0 points otherwise. Fetal movement: 2 points if there are at least three discrete body or limb movements within 30 minutes, 0 points otherwise. Fetal tone: 2 points if there is at least one episode of extremity extension and subsequent return to flexion, 0 points otherwise. Amniotic fluid volume: 2 points if there is a pocket of amniotic fluid measuring at least 2 cm in two perpendicular planes, 0 points otherwise. Nonstress test: 2 points if there are at least two accelerations of fetal heart rate with or without fetal movement within 20 minutes, 0 points otherwise.
There is no score of 1 for any variable.
It is incomplete and does not provide the full range of possible scores.

Choice A is wrong because each variable can have a score of either 0 or 2, not 0 or.
Choice C is wrong because there is no score of 1 for any variable.
Choice D is wrong because it is incomplete and does not provide the full range of possible scores.
