The Respiratory Therapist Is Called to Assist in the Labor

The respiratory therapist is called to assist in the labor of a pregnant woman whose NST reported two accelerations in fetal heart rate, each of at least 15 beats per minute and lasting at least 15 seconds, associated with maternal perception of fetal movement over a period of 20 minutes. What is the best course of action?

A) A C-section should be scheduled as soon as possible.
B) No action is required because this reactive NST is associated with normal uteroplacental function.
C) A CST should be performed before fetal stress is confirmed.
D) Oxytocin should be administered to prevent more fetal stress.
