BCEN CEN Practice Question

A 27-year-old woman who is 34 weeks pregnant is brought to the emergency department after a moderate-speed motor-vehicle collision. She is hemodynamically stable, and her primary survey is unremarkable. After the mother's initial assessment and stabilization, which of the following is the most appropriate step to evaluate fetal well-being in this patient?

  • Begin continuous external fetal heart-rate and uterine-contraction monitoring for a minimum of 4 hours.

  • Obtain a single handheld Doppler reading of the fetal heart rate and repeat only if maternal vital signs change.

  • Delay any fetal assessment until all maternal diagnostic imaging is completed.

  • Administer prophylactic tocolytics immediately, without prior fetal assessment.
