Although all of these are considerations, parents are usually most concerned about the safety of the fetus. Parents are concerned about the duration of the test; however, it is not the greatest concern. The cost of the procedure is important to parents, especially those without third-party payers; but again, this is not the greatest concern. With adequate preparation for the procedure by the nurse physical discomfort can be allayed.
