Passage / Scenario
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is at 30 weeks of gestation and is to have a nonstress test (NST).Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B because lying on the back during a non-stress test (NST) can compress the vena cava, reducing blood flow to the placenta and potentially affecting the baby's oxygen supply. This can lead to inaccurate test results and potential harm to the baby. Choice A is correct as it indicates understanding of fetal activity for optimal test timing. Choices C and D are incorrect as they demonstrate understanding of the monitoring process and duration of the test, respectively.
