A nurse is assessing a newborn following a forceps-assisted birth.
Which of the following clinical manifestations should the nurse identify as a complication of this birth method?

The correct answer is choice d. The procedure is not necessary to determine the sex of the fetus.

Choice A rationale:

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is another prenatal test that can determine the sex of the fetus, but it is typically performed between 10-13 weeks of gestation. However, it is not the standard response to a request for amniocentesis.

Choice B rationale:

Age is not a criterion for performing an amniocentesis. This procedure can be done for various medical reasons regardless of the mother’s age.

Choice C rationale:

Scheduling an amniocentesis for the same day is not appropriate, especially since the primary purpose of amniocentesis is to diagnose genetic disorders, not to determine the sex of the fetus.

Choice D rationale:

This is the correct response because non-invasive methods like ultrasound can determine the sex of the fetus without the need for an invasive procedure like amniocentesis, which carries risks.

Choice A rationale
Fresh citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin C, but they do not contain vitamin B125. Vitamin B12 is not naturally present in plant foods, so vegans need to get it from fortified foods or supplements.
Choice B rationale

Raw carrots are a good source of vitamins A and K, and dietary fiber, but they do not contain vitamin B125. Vegans need to get vitamin B12 from other sources.
Choice C rationale
Brown rice is a good source of B vitamins like B1 (thiamin) and B3 (niacin), but it does not contain vitamin B125. Vegans need to get vitamin B12 from other sources.
Choice D rationale
Fortified soy milk is a good source of vitamin B12 for vegans. Many brands of soy milk are fortified with vitamins, including B12, making them a good choice for vegans looking to increase their vitamin B12 intake.
