Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is to undergo a nonstress test. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Instruct the client to press the provided button each time fetal movement is detected. This action is essential during a nonstress test to track fetal movement and heart rate patterns. By pressing the button each time fetal movement is felt, the nurse can correlate these movements with any changes in the fetal heart rate, providing valuable information about fetal well-being. Maintaining the client NPO (
A) is not necessary for a nonstress test. Placing the client in a supine position (
B) can reduce blood flow to the fetus and is not recommended. Instructing the client to massage the abdomen (
C) may lead to inaccurate test results by artificially stimulating fetal movements.
