A patient at 37 weeks' gestation has a mildly elevated blood pressure. Her antenatal testing demonstrates a fetal heart rate baseline of 150 with three contractions in 10 minutes, no decelerations, and accelerations four times in 1 hour.

This test would be considered a: 1. Positive nonstress test.
2. Negative contraction stress test.
3. Positive contraction stress test.
4. Negative nonstress test.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The fact that the contractions are present rules out the nonstress test.
Rationale 2: The desired result is a negative contraction stress test; this means that there are three contractions in 10 minutes, without decelerations.
Rationale 3: A positive contraction stress test is undesirable because the fetus is experiencing decelerations with over half the contractions.
Rationale 4: The fact that the contractions are present rules out the nonstress test.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 3: How confidentiality is maintained is an ethical question related to cord-blood banking.
Rationale 4: Standards of care are a legal, not an ethical, problem.
