cells. Under direct visualization of ultrasound a thin needle is inserted through the abdominal
and uterine walls to withdraw amniotic fluid into a syringe. Sufficient fluid must be present for
the test to be done, usually 15 to 17 weeks gestation. Check for genetic disorder, levels of AFP,
neural tube defects, and chromosomal defects. Minimal risk of abortion in late pregnancy.
Check Rh compatibility.
Subjective Changes - CORRECT ANSWER- Amenorrhea, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, urinary
frequency, breast changes, quickening, abdominal enlargement.

weeks gestation. Assesses hypoxia and loss of muscle tone.
,Ultrasound - CORRECT ANSWER- Used to visualize internal organs and tissues. Bladder must
be full, so woman should drink 1-2 quarts of water before procedure. Confirms pregnancy and

effects include preterm birth, low birth weight, neonatal sepsis, and neurological damage.
, Substance Abuse - CORRECT ANSWER- Exposure to alcohol during pregnancy places the
developing fetus at higher risk for fetal death, low birth weight, IUGR, metal retardation, and
