Answer to Question 1

The nurse should splint the arm where it lies and not attempt to move or rearrange the limb.

When a patient has an amniocentesis, fetal heart tones should be monitored. There are no fluid or food restrictions, and the patient should be told to contact her physician to obtain results, which are usually available after 2 weeks.
