Answer: The Biophysical Profile (BPP) is an ultrasound that measures breathing, body movement, tone, and amniotic fluid volume.

Explanation:

The BPP is a combination of tests which checks the baby's health based on five fetal biophysical variables:

  • The fetal heart rate (FHR) acceleration through the use of nonstress test (NST).
  • An ultrasound to measure the baby's breathing, body movement and muscle tone, and amount of amniotic fluid protecting the baby.

Each variable gets a score from range 0 to 2 for a maximum score of 10. A score of 6 or less shows altered fetal well-being and need for further assessment. The BPP does not detect neonatal problems,does not screen for neural tube defects, does not involve a needle.

What is one benefit to lifelong physical activity? A. healthier diet B. lower risk of stroke C. organized daily schedule D. lowe
notsponge [240]
B) Lower risk of stroke.

Studies and research have strongly suggested that lifelong physical activity results in a decreased chance of stroke. The other options provided aren’t direct causes of physical activity.

A and C aren’t correct as exercising doesn’t necessarily result in you having a healthier diet or an organized schedule. You can exercise regularly but still have unhealthy eating habits and an unorganized schedule.

D isn’t correct because constant physical activity, although healthy, also doesn’t necessarily lower risk of injury. For example, if you constantly do one activity all the time, it can increase your risk of injury. Consistently giving yourself a variety of activities, however, is one way to help decrease that risk of injury when exercising.
