Your patient is 34 weeks pregnant and during a regular
prenatal visit tells you she does not understand how to do
"kick counts." The best response by the nurse would be to
explain:
a. "Here is an information sheet on how to do kick counts."
b. "It is not important to do kick counts because you have

d. "Fetal movements are an indicator of fetal well-being.
You should count twice a day, and you should feel 10 fetal
movements in 2 hours." - Answer-d. This response
provides the patient with information on how to do kick
counts and the rationale for doing kick counts and criteria
for normal fetal movement.
Your patient is a 37-year-old pregnant woman who is 5
weeks pregnant and is considering genetic testing. During
your discussion, the woman asks the nurse what the
advantages of chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are over
amniocentesis. The best response is:
a. "You will need anesthesia for amniocentesis, but not for
CVS."
b. "CVS is a faster procedure."
c. "CVS provides more detailed information than
amniocentesis."
d. "CVS can be done earlier in your pregnancy, and the

screening with maternal serum markers. The Triple Marker
screen and the Quadruple Marker screen test for the
presence of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), estradiol, human
chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and other markers. These
tests screen for potential neural tube defects, Down
syndrome, and Trisomy 18. If the screen is positive, the
woman should be referred to a genetics specialist for
counseling, and further testing, such as chorionic villus
sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, should be performed.

interprets the result as which of the following?
a. The baby's lung fields are mature.
b. The mother is high risk for hemorrhage.
c. The baby's kidneys are functioning poorly.
d. The mother is high risk for eclampsia. - Answer-a. An

Your pregnant patient is in her first trimester and is
scheduled for an abdominal ultrasound. When explaining
the rationale for early pregnancy ultrasound, the best
response is:

b. "The test will help to determine how many weeks you
are pregnant."
c. "The test will help to determine if your baby is growing
