Current Issues in Maternal Newborn Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
A couple has been counseled for genetic anomalies. They ask you, 'What is karyotyping?' Which description is most accurate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Karyotyping provides genetic information such as gender and chromosomal structure. The lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio, not karyotyping, reveals lung maturity. Although karyotyping can detect genetic anomalies, the range of normal is nondescriptive, and not all such anomalies display obvious physical deformities. The term 'deformities' is a nondescriptive word, and physical anomalies may be present that are not detected by genetic studies (e.g., cardiac malformations).
