Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a prenatal clinic is instructing a client about an amniocentesis, which is scheduled at 15 weeks of gestation. Which of the following should be included in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Amniocentesis requires sufficient amniotic fluid for safe sampling to diagnose genetic conditions. Heartbeat detection isn't a prerequisite, it doesn't assess lung maturity, and Rh immune globulin is for Rh-negative mothers.

Question 3 of 5
A nurse midwife is examining a client who is a primigravida at 42 weeks of gestation and states that she believes she is in labor. Which of the following findings confirm to the nurse that the client is in labor?

Question 4 of 5
The nurse assesses a 1-day-old newborn. Which finding indicates that the newborn's oxygenation needs are not being met?

Rationale: Grunting and nasal flaring signal respiratory distress, indicating inadequate oxygenation, unlike normal findings like acrocyanosis or abdominal breathing.
Extract:
A client at 22 weeks' gestation is diagnosed with placenta previa.
Question 5 of 5
At 22 weeks' gestation, a client is diagnosed with placenta previa. The doctor tells the client that the placenta may move away from the cervix as the pregnancy progresses. This is classified as what type of previa?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Low-lying placenta previa is near the cervix but not covering it, and it may resolve as the uterus grows, unlike partial, complete, or marginal previa, which are less likely to shift.
