Answer to Question 1

C
Five parameters of fetal activity (fetal heart rate, fetal breathing movements, gross fetal movements, fetal tone, and amniotic fluid volume) are used to determine the biophysical profile. The maximum score is 2 points for each parameter. A score falling between 8 and 10 is considered normal.
A score of 4 or less is considered abnormal.
A score of 9 is considered reassuring.
A score of 8 to 10 is considered reassuring.

Answer to Question 2

An infant between the 10th and 90th percentiles is average for gestational age.
