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. In a nonstress test, the client is required to monitor fetal movements and press a button each time they are felt. This helps assess fetal well-being by measuring the heart rate in response to movement. This action is essential for the accurate interpretation of the test results. Maintaining the client NPO (
A) is not necessary for this procedure. Placing the client in a supine position (
B) can lead to decreased blood flow to the fetus. Instructing the client to massage the abdomen (
C) may interfere with the natural fetal movements being monitored.
Therefore, the correct action is to have the client press the button when fetal movement is detected to ensure an accurate assessment of fetal well-being.
