A nurse is caring for a client who is at 20 weeks of gestation and has trichomoniasis.
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Rationale:

A. "Your provider will schedule a chorionic villus sampling to determine the sex of your baby." Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a different prenatal test that involves taking a sample of chorionic villi for genetic testing, not determining the sex of the fetus.

B. "This procedure determines if your baby has genetic or congenital disorders."

Correct answer.

Amniocentesis is a prenatal test used to diagnose genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities, not to determine the sex of the fetus.

C. "We can schedule the procedure for later today if you'd like." Amniocentesis is not typically scheduled on the same day as requested. It requires prior preparation and scheduling.

D. "You cannot have an amniocentesis until you are at least 35 years of age." There's no age restriction for amniocentesis based solely on maternal age. It's typically recommended for women at higher risk for genetic conditions, regardless of age.

A.

Rationale:

A. Maternal cytomegalovirus can be transmitted to the newborn through contact with infected bodily fluids, including saliva and urine.

B. Airborne precautions are not necessary for cytomegalovirus, as it is primarily transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, not through airborne droplets.

C. There is no prophylactic treatment with acyclovir for cytomegalovirus; treatment options are limited and typically reserved for severe cases.

D. Lesions are not typically visible on the mother's genitalia with cytomegalovirus; the virus is often asymptomatic or causes mild symptoms in healthy adults.
