Explanation & Rationale
A. Irrigating the insertion site with sterile water is not a standard part of the procedure. B. Rh-negative clients are at risk for isoimmunization if fetal blood mixes with maternal blood during the procedure. Rh(D) immune globulin should be administered after the procedure to prevent Rh sensitization. C. The client is usually positioned supine with a slight tilt to prevent vena cava compression, not strictly in a left lateral position. D. Amniocentesis does not require the client to be NPO.
