A nurse is caring for a client who is having a nonstress test performed. The fetal heart rate (FHR) is 130 to 150/min, but there has been no fetal movement for 15 min. Which of the following actions should the nurse perform?

A. Immediate reporting and induction are not warranted at this point because the fetus appears to have a normal baseline FHR and no decelerations; initial interventions are noninvasive. B. Walking around may temporarily reduce maternal comfort or interfere with monitoring; activity is not the first intervention. C. Turning the client on her left side is a good practice for optimizing uteroplacental perfusion, but it does not stimulate fetal activity if the fetus is asleep. D. Offering a snack containing carbohydrates can stimulate fetal activity, which is a first-line intervention when there is no movement noted during a nonstress test. This is safe and noninvasive, allowing reassessment of fetal movement before further actions.
