A, E
Feedback:
A healthy fetus moves at about 10 times per hour. The nurse should instruct the patient to lie in a left recumbent position after a meal, observe and record the number of fetal movements or kicks the fetus makes until 10 movements are counted, and record the time. If an hour passes without 10 movements, the patient should walk around a little and try a count again. If 10 movements cannot be felt in a second 1-hour period, the patient should telephone the primary health care provider.
