The nurse is creating a client education brochure describing amniocentesis. Which statement is most important for the nurse to include in the brochure?
 
  1. Prior to the amniocentesis, you will be asked to sign a consent form.
  2. After the amniocentesis, your vital signs will be monitored.
  3. During the amniocentesis, you might experience leaking of fluid.
  4. Following the amniocentesis, you can return to normal activities.

Question 2

The infertile couple will have ovulation induced and retrieval of ovum, followed by mixing with washed donor sperm. One day later, the fertilized ovum will be placed in the fallopian tube.
 
  The nurse knows that education has been successful if the client describes the procedure as: 1. Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT).
  2. Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT).
  3. Tubal embryo transfer (TET).
  4. In vitro fertilization (IVF).

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. This is a true statement, but direct client care, including monitoring for complications, is a higher priority.
2. Vital signs are monitored and fetal monitoring is performed after amniocentesis to verify that both mother and fetus are physiologically stable after the test is completed.
3. Leaking of fluid is a complication of amniocentesis indicating rupture of membranes.
4. Activity should be restricted for 24 hours after the amniocentesis to help prevent complications.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. ZIFT is the return of fertilized ovum into the fallopian tube after ovum retrieval and mixing the ovum with washed sperm.
2. GIFT is placing retrieved ovum and washed sperm into the fallopian tube.
3. TET is placing embryos into the fallopian tube. The embryos form in a laboratory after ovum are retrieved and then mixed with washed sperm.
4. IVF is the placement of embryos into the uterus. The embryos form in a laboratory after ovum are retrieved and then mixed with washed sperm.
