Biophysical Profile (BPP)
Biophysical Profile (BPP) ( 3 Questions)
A nurse is explaining when a biophysical profile (BPP) is usually performed.
At what gestational age is a BPP typically performed?
A BPP is not usually performed at 12-14 weeks of gestation. This is too early to assess the fetal biophysical parameters reliably.
A BPP is not usually performed at 20-22 weeks of gestation. This is also too early to assess the fetal biophysical parameters reliably.
A BPP is not usually performed at 24-26 weeks of gestation. This is still too early to assess the fetal biophysical parameters reliably.
A biophysical profile (BPP) is typically performed after 28 weeks of gestation to evaluate the fetal well-being. A BPP measures five parameters: fetal heart rate, fetal breathing movements, fetal body movements, fetal tone and amniotic fluid volume. Each parameter is scored as 0 (abnormal) or 2 (normal), and the total score ranges from 0 to.

Choice A is wrong because a BPP is not usually performed at 12-14 weeks of gestation. This is too early to assess the fetal biophysical parameters reliably.
Choice B is wrong because a BPP is not usually performed at 20-22 weeks of gestation. This is also too early to assess the fetal biophysical parameters reliably.
Choice C is wrong because a BPP is not usually performed at 24-26 weeks of gestation. This is still too early to assess the fetal biophysical parameters reliably.
