The nurse prepares a female client with diabetes at 36 weeks gestation for a contraction stress test. The test is performed by giving the client oxytocin or which of the following?
  1. Offering a glass of orange juice
  2. Application of acoustic stimulator on the client’s abdomen
  3. Nipple stimulation
  4. Positioning the client on her left side
Explanation
Answer: C - Administration of oxytocin or nipple stimulation is used to stimulate fetal movements on the contraction stress test. Offering a glass of orange juice is appropriate for a non-stress test and application of acoustic stimulator on the client’s abdomen is used in vibroacoustic stimulation. Positioning the client on the left side does not stimulate fetal movements.
