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