What is the maximum score possible on a full Biophysical Profile (BPP)?

The correct answer is: 12

The maximum score possible on a full Biophysical Profile (BPP) is 10. The BPP is a prenatal assessment tool that evaluates fetal well-being through a combination of ultrasound findings and non-stress testing. It includes several components: fetal heart rate, fetal movement, fetal tone, fetal breathing movements, and amniotic fluid volume. Each of these components is scored individually, contributing to a total possible score. A perfect score means that all components are functioning normally, thereby indicating a healthy fetus. Since each component is scored as either 0 (abnormal) or 2 (normal), the highest achievable score sums to 10—2 points for each of the five assessments. Understanding this scoring system is crucial for midwives and healthcare providers in monitoring and managing fetal health effectively.
