Introduction :-)
The <em>amniotic fluid</em> is the protective liquid contained by the <em>amniotic sac</em> of a <em>gravid amniote</em>. This <em>fluid</em> serves as a cushion for the growing <em>fetus</em>, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between <em>mother</em> and <em>fetus</em>.
Importance :-)
- <em>It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.</em>
- <em>It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.</em>
- <em>It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.</em>
- <em>It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.</em>

Formation :-)
<em>Amniotic fluid </em>is present from the formation of the <em>gestational sac.</em> <em>Amniotic fluid </em>is in the <em>amniotic sac.</em> It is generated from <em>maternal plasma</em>, and passes through the <em>fetal membranes</em> by <em>osmotic</em> and <em>hydrostatic forces</em>. When <em>fetal kidneys</em> begin to function around week 16, <em>fetal urine</em> also contributes to the <em>fluid.</em> In earlier times, it was believed that the <em>amniotic fluid</em> was composed entirely of <em>fetal urine</em>.
The <em>fluid</em> is absorbed through the <em>fetal tissue</em> and <em>skin</em>. After <em>22 to 25 week </em>of<em> pregnancy</em>, <em>fraternization</em> of an <em>embryo's skin</em> occurs. When this process completes around the <em>25th week</em>, the<em> fluid</em> is primarily absorbed by the <em>fetal gut</em> for the remainder of <em>gestation</em>.
<em>Contents :-)</em>
At first, <em>amniotic fluid</em> is mainly water with <em>electrolytes</em>, but by about the <em>12-14th week</em> the <em>liquid</em> also contains <em>proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea</em>, all of which <em>aid</em> in the growth of the <em>fetus</em>.

The factors would the nurse identify as affecting the anxiety level of patients admitted to the intensive care unit is pain, intubation and immobilization .
<h3>What is meant by intubation?</h3>
A medical professional will intubate a patient by inserting a tube into their mouth or nose and then into their trachea, or windpipe. The tube maintains the trachea's opening, allowing air to pass through. A device that distributes air or oxygen can be connected to the tube.
Now, as a general rule, an endotracheal tube or breathing tube is typically left in your loved one's throat or larynx for up to two weeks at most, unless there are specific and uncommon conditions.
As a result of intubation, the majority of people only experience minor side effects including a sore throat and hoarseness. Some people don't even know they were intubated because they exhibit no symptoms.

Answer:
The correct option is : D. Ethnocentrism
Explanation:
Ethnocentrism is a term used to describe an act of judgement and evaluation of another culture or ethnic group with reference to the preconceptions of one's own ethnic group or culture especially in terms of the language, customs, food, beliefs and religion. Therefore, ethnocentrism is a belief that one's ethnic group is superior in comparison to others and thus all the other ethnic groups are rated with reference to their own superior group.
