Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a provider’s office is caring for a 20-year-old client who is at 12 weeks of gestation and requests an amniocentesis to determine the sex of the fetus. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct response is B: This procedure determines if your baby has genetic or congenital disorders. Amniocentesis is a diagnostic test that involves taking a sample of the amniotic fluid, which can be analyzed for genetic abnormalities like Down syndrome. It is typically performed between 15-20 weeks of gestation, not based on maternal age.
Choice A is incorrect as there is no age requirement for amniocentesis.
Choice C is incorrect as chorionic villus sampling is a different procedure used for genetic testing earlier in pregnancy.
Choice D is incorrect as amniocentesis is a planned procedure that requires preparation and scheduling, not something to be done on the same day.
