Practice Question
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about a biophysical profile. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The test predicts fetal well-being in the third trimester.
Rationale:
💎The biophysical profile (BPP) is a prenatal test that combines ultrasound with nonstress testing to assess fetal well-being in the third trimester.
💎It evaluates five parameters: fetal breathing movements, fetal body movements, fetal tone, amniotic fluid volume, and fetal heart rate reactivity.
💎A normal score indicates that the fetus is well-oxygenated and not in distress, while a low score suggests hypoxia and possible need for intervention.
💎This test is not used to determine estimated due date, nor does it require NPO status or initiation of labor interventions beforehand.
