Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A nonstress test assesses fetal well-being and evaluates the ability of the fetal heart to accelerate, often in association with fetal movement. Accelerations of the fetal heart rate are associated with adequate oxygenation, a healthy neural pathway, and the fetal heart's ability to respond to stimuli. A reactive test is described as at least two fetal heart rate accelerations, with or without fetal movement, occurring within a 20-minute period and peaking at least 15 beats/minute above the baseline and lasting 15 seconds from baseline to baseline. This recording (see figure) identifies a reactive nonstress test. The fetal heart rate acceleration peaks at least 15 beats/minute and lasts for at least 15 seconds in response to fetal movement. A nonreactive test is an abnormal or nonreassuring test. In a nonreactive test, the recording does not demonstrate the required characteristics of a reactive test within a 40-minute period.
