Answer to Question 1
A
The normal biophysical score ranges from 8 to 10 points if the amniotic fluid volume is ade-quate. A normal score allows conservative treatment of high-risk patients. Delivery can be delayed if fetal well-being is indicated.
Scores less than 4 would be investigated, and delivery could be initiated sooner than planned.
This score is within normal range, and no further testing is required at this time.
The results of the biophysical profile are usually available immediately after the procedure is performed.
