Any movement of the fingers would get 2 points for tone. If the fetus has a clenched fist for the entire 30 minute study, 2 points would be given, although this is quite rare. Movement without tone can happen, but is probably a once or twice in a career finding. Then again, I could be wrong. --- "art fougner, md" <evsono@pipeline.com> wrote: > Terry > > would definitely defer to Dr. Platt on this one ... > but, while no > movement = poor tone, one can have weak sluggish > movements which suggest > poor tone. extension with return to flexion and/or > opening and closing > the hand constitutes good tone. > > Art > > At Mon, 10 Nov 2003, Terry J.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
