Your patient is 34 weeks pregnant and during a regular prenatal visit tells you she does not understand how to do kick counts. The best response by the nurse would be to explain:
 
  a. Here is an information sheet on how to do kick counts.b. It is not important to do kick counts because you have a low-risk pregnancy.c. Fetal kick counts are not a reliable indicator of fetal well-being in the third trimester.d. Fetal movements are an indicator of fetal well-being. You should count twice a day, and you should feel 10 fetal movements in 2 hours.
