Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. "We are looking for increases in fetal heart rate of 15/min for at least 15 seconds. This means the baby is doing well." – Correct; a reactive NST shows at least two accelerations of 15 bpm lasting at least 15 seconds within 20 minutes, indicating fetal well-being.
B. "We will draw blood to evaluate the baby's risk of genetic problems." – Incorrect; an NST does not involve blood work; genetic testing is done through amniocentesis or blood screening.
C. "I am looking at the ultrasound to see if the baby has any congenital anomalies." – Incorrect; an NST does not evaluate congenital anomalies; an ultrasound or amniocentesis would be used for that.
D. "If the baby moves 5 times in 15 minutes, then the baby is healthy." – Incorrect; fetal movement is assessed with kick counts, not an NST.
