Extract:
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.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Amniocentesis assesses for genetic disorders, not just fetal sex, and is not age-restricted or scheduled same-day without indication. Chorionic villus sampling is an alternative but not the default.

Question 2 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Placing newborn bassinets at least 3 feet apart is a key infection control measure to prevent cross-contamination and reduce infection spread. Masks for parents are not standard, airborne precautions are not routine, and sterile fields for heelsticks are specific to the procedure, not general nursery policy.
