A maternity nurse should be aware that amniotic fluid:
 
  1. serves as a source of oral fluid and as a repository for waste of the fetus.
  2. remains at about the same volume throughout the term of a healthy pregnancy.
  3. having less than 300 ml is associated with gastrointestinal malformations.
  4. having more than 2 L is associated with fetal renal abnormalities.
