Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of painless bleeding should always alert the health care team to the possibility of placenta previa.This can be confirmed through ultrasonography.Amniocentesis is not performed on a woman who is experiencing bleeding.In the event of an imminent delivery,the fetus is presumed to have immature lungs at this gestational age,and the mother given corticosteroids to aid in fetal lung maturity.A CST is not performed at a preterm gestational age.Furthermore,bleeding is a contraindication to this test.Internal fetal monitoring is contraindicated in the presence of bleeding.
