Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
In the case of intrauterine fetal demise at 36 weeks of gestation, the most common treatment option is induction of labor.
Choice B rationale
An immediate cesarean birth is typically not the first choice of treatment for intrauterine fetal demise unless there are other complications.
Choice C rationale
Methotrexate is used to treat ectopic pregnancies, not intrauterine fetal demise.
Choice D rationale
Dilation with suction curettage is typically used for early pregnancy loss, not late-term intrauterine fetal demise.

A. I will be asleep during the procedure. B. I should start fasting 24 hours before the procedure. C. I will be lying on my side during the procedure. D. I should empty my bladder before the procedure.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Amniocentesis is not a surgical procedure that requires general anesthesia, so the client will not be asleep during the procedure.
Choice B rationale
Fasting is not typically required before an amniocentesis. The procedure involves inserting a thin needle into the amniotic sac to withdraw a small amount of fluid for testing. It does not involve the digestive system, so there is no need for the client to fast.
Choice C rationale
While the client may be in various positions during the procedure, lying on the side is not typically required. The position of the client during the procedure is determined by the location of the baby and the amniotic sac.
Choice D rationale
Emptying the bladder before the procedure can make it easier for the healthcare provider to access the uterus and amniotic sac. Therefore, this statement indicates an understanding of the teaching.
