To correctly position the pregnant patient for an NST,the woman usually sits in a reclining chair.Alternatively she can be in a semi-Fowler position with a lateral tilt.This will optimize uterine perfusion and prevent supine hypotension.The woman does not need to drink water.Conduction gel is used in all NST tests.
