A client and her partner are carriers of sickle-cell disease. They are considering prenatal diagnosis with either amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
 
  Which statement indicates that further teaching is needed on these two procedures? 1. CVS carries a higher risk of miscarriage.
  2. CVS can be done earlier in my pregnancy than can amniocentesis.
  3. The diagnosis comes sooner if we use amniocentesis.
  4. CVS has a risk of giving me an infection.

Rationale:
1. CVS carries a higher risk of miscarriage.
2. Amniocentesis is not done until 16 weeks' gestation. CVS is typically performed between 10 and 12 weeks' gestation.
3. CVS is typically performed between 10 and 12 weeks' gestation. Amniocentesis is not done until 16 weeks' gestation. Because it is performed earlier in the pregnancy and the results are usually back in 24 hours, CVS has the advantage of providing diagnostic information earlier.
4. Risks of CVS include intrauterine infection.
