Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A patient with a BPP of 8 at 33 weeks' gestation should return for the next BPP in 1-2 weeks, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' guidelines for antepartum fetal surveillance in multiple gestations. This allows for close monitoring of fetal well-being and timely intervention if necessary.
