Answer to Question 1

A
An expanded assessment is necessary to look for data to verify the measurements of the in-fant.
Remeasuring the infant is helpful but an expanded assessment would be a better action.
An expanded assessment is needed first so as not the alarm the parents unnecessarily.
A discrepancy is not a normal deviation.

Answer to Question 2

D
The non-stress test (NST) is reactive (normal) when there are two or more fetal heart rate accelerations of at least 15 beats/min (each with a duration of at least 15 seconds) in a 20-minute period.
A nonreactive result means that the heart rate did not accelerate during fetal movement.
A positive result is not used with an NST. The CST uses positive as a result term.
A negative result is not used with an NST. The CST uses negative as a result term.
