Leopold's manuever is done after 24 weeks of gestation. It has 4 steps to do it by palpating the uterus to determine the presentation,checking the heartbeat and the lie of the fetus.

Answer 2

Answer: Maternal fetal activity count

Using the maternal fetal activity count method in a 29 weeks pregnant client is the most cost-effective; least invasive and demanding method for assessing fetal well-being.  This is done by instructing the client to count, record, and report the number of times the fetus kicks during a designated period each day without using expensive machines or facilities.
