Question

A pregnant client is concerned that the baby is going to drown in the uterus because of the fluid. what should the nurse teach the client about fetal respiration?

Answer 1

The teaching that the nurse should provide about fetal respiration to the client who is concerned that the baby is going to drown in the uterus because of the fluid is that the oxygen reaches the fetus through the placenta.

Fetal respiration is not the same as respiration in adults. The fetus does not inhale the air into the lungs. Instead the fetus receives oxygen through the placenta, which extracts the oxygen from the blood of mother. Similarly, the carbon dioxide of fetus is released into the mother's blood by the placenta.

Placenta develops from the mother's uterus during pregnancy that connects the fetus with the mother's womb. It acts as a passage for the exchange of several substances between the mother and the fetus.
