Question 1 of 5

The 39-year-old client with type 1 DM presents at 36 weeks’ gestation with Drag and Drop contractions. An HCP decides to do an amniocentesis. Which statement best supports why the nurse and NA should prepare the client for an amniocentesis now?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Infants of diabetic mothers are less likely to have mature lung capacity at 36 weeks; knowing lung maturity can influence whether delivery should proceed. In mid pregnancy, the cells in amniotic fluid can be studied for genetic abnormalities such as Down’s syndrome and birth defects, but amniocentesis would not be performed for this purpose when the client is in preterm labor. Many women over the age of 35 have amniocentesis completed to test for chromosomal disorders, but not this late in the pregnancy. Fetal fibronectin testing is used to determine if a preterm birth is likely, but it cannot be used to determine lung maturity.
