A nurse is caring for a client who had chorionic villus sampling (CVS) performed at 12 weeks’ gestation and asks when she can expect results from this test.
The nurse should inform her that results are typically available within which timeframe?
24 hours is too short for the laboratory to test the sample of cells from the placenta.
The nurse should inform her that results are typically available within 7 days. This is known as the rapid CVS result. A more detailed set of CVS results will be available within 2 weeks.
10-14 days is the timeframe for the more detailed set of CVS results, not the rapid CVS result.
30 days is too long for the results to be available.
The correct answer is choice B. The nurse should inform her that results are typically available within 7 days.
This is known as the rapid CVS result.

Choice C is wrong because 10-14 days is the timeframe for the more detailed set of CVS results, not the rapid CVS result.
