Question

Non-stress test notes that the fetus has no accelerations... how should this be documented?

A) Reactive non-stress test
B) Non-reactive non-stress test
C) Normal non-stress test
D) Abnormal non-stress test

Answer 1

The correct documentation for a non-stress test that shows no accelerations is Non-reactive non-stress test.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a non-stress test, if the fetus has no accelerations, it should be documented as a Non-reactive non-stress test (Option B). This means that the fetal heart rate did not increase above a certain threshold during the test, which suggests that the fetus may not be getting enough oxygen.
