The nurse is teaching a prenatal class on the functions of the various structures involved with pregnancy.
The nurse determines the class is successful when the class correctly chooses which function of amniotic fluid.
It provides oxygen to the fetus.
This is how the baby is fed.
It helps cushion the baby.
It prevents viruses from passing to the baby.
The Correct Answer is C
Amniotic fluid helps cushion the baby12.
It acts as a shock absorber and protects the fetus from injury should the mother’s abdomen be subject to trauma or sudden impact.
Choice A is incorrect because the amniotic fluid does not provide oxygen to the fetus.
Oxygen is provided to the fetus through the umbilical cord.
Choice B is incorrect because amniotic fluid is not how the baby is fed. The baby receives nutrients through the umbilical cord.
Choice D is incorrect because while amniotic fluid does have some antibacterial properties2, it does not prevent viruses from passing to the baby.
