The nurse is preparing to assist the nurse midwife with an amnioinfusion. The patient asks, "Why do I need this?" The best response by the nurse is:

"We need to decrease the fluid in your uterus."

The decreased fluid in the uterus is causing the baby to lie on the umbilical cord."

"You need extra amniotic fluid to prevent a dry birth."

This will replace fluid in your uterus to prevent an infection."
