A nurse is caring for a client scheduled for a CST.
Which statement indicates the client understands the test procedure?
“I will have sensors placed on my abdomen to monitor the FHR and uterine contractions.” This statement indicates the client understands the test procedure of a CST, which is a test that triggers contractions and registers how the baby’s heart reacts. The test is done by placing two sensor belts around the abdomen, one to measure the baby’s heartbeat and the other to measure contractions. The client may receive oxytocin through an IV to induce contractions.
The client does not need to fast for 24 hours before the test. There is no evidence that fasting is required for a CST.
The client will not be sedated during the test. Sedation is not necessary for a CST and may interfere with the results.
The client does not need to drink plenty of fluids before the test. There is no evidence that drinking fluids is required for a CST.
