Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the procedure for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) screening with a patient at 16 weeks' gestation. The nurse determines that the patient understands the teaching when she states that will be collected for the initial screening process?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Blood. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) screening is a test that measures the level of AFP in the mother's blood to screen for certain fetal abnormalities. AFP is a protein produced by the fetus and can be detected in the mother's blood. Blood is the most appropriate sample for this screening as it directly reflects the fetal AFP levels. Urine (A), saliva (C), and amniotic fluid (D) do not contain AFP in levels that can be accurately measured for this screening, making them incorrect choices. Blood is the standard and most reliable sample for AFP screening due to its direct correlation with fetal AFP levels.
