1. There are more than five fetal movements in a 10-minute period.
2. There are more than three uterine contractions in a 6-minute period.
3. The fetal heart rate accelerates when contractions last up to 60 seconds.
4. The fetal heart rate decelerates when three contractions occur within a 10-minute period.

Explanation:
1. The fetal movement is considered a negative contraction stress test.
2. An equivocal or suspicious test has nonpersistent late decelerations or decelerations associated with hyperstimulation (contraction frequency of every 2 minutes or duration lasting longer than 90 seconds). When this test result occurs, more information is needed.
3. The acceleration of the heart rate is considered a negative contraction stress test.
4. Decelerations are considered a positive contraction stress test.
