Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assessing uterine activity involves evaluating the frequency, duration, and intensity of contractions, which can be done through palpation of the maternal abdomen in between contractions (A), analyzing the electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) strip for contraction patterns such as contractions being 2 or 3 minutes apart (B), and checking the intensity of contractions in Montevideo units (MVUs) as indicated by 200 MVU every 10 minutes (C). Evaluating the duration of each contraction, such as lasting 1 minute (E), is also part of assessing uterine activity. Option D is related to assessing fetal well-being, specifically looking at fetal heart rate patterns, not uterine activity.
