Questions And Answers
F. Provides an exchange of nutrients and waste products between
the mother and the fetus -
correct answer ✅EF
(The amniotic fluid surrounds, cushions, and protects the fetus. The
placenta, not the amniotic fluid, prevents large particles such as
bacteria from passing to the fetus, and the placenta provides an
exchange of nutrients and waste products between the mother and
the fetus. Amniotic fluid allows the fetus to move freely, it
maintains the body temperature of the fetus, and it helps to
measure kidney function because the amount of fluid is based on
the amount of urination from the fetus.)
The nurse working in a prenatal clinic reviews a client's chart ands

Questions And Answers
The nurse is describing the process of fetal circulation to a client
during a prenatal visit. The nurse should tell the client that fetal
circulation consists of which components?
A. Two umbilical veins and one umbilical artery
B. Two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein
C. Arteries that carry oxygenated blood to the fetus
D. Veins that carry deoxygenated blood to the fetus -
correct answer ✅B
(Blood pumped by the fetus's heart leaves the fetus through two
umbilical arteries. After the blood is oxygenated, it is then returned
by one umbilical vein. The umbilical arteries carry deoxygenated
blood and waste products from the fetus and the umbilical vein
carries oxygenated blood and provides oxygen and nutrients to the
fetus.)
A nursing student is assigned to a client in labor. The nursing
instructor asks the student to describe fetal circulation, specifically
the ductus venosus. The instructor determines that the student
understands the structure of the ductus venosus if the student
states which about the ductus venosus?
A. Connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta
