Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Amniocentesis results take longer to process than do CVS results.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Implying that another baby can take this one's place is untrue and nontherapeutic.
Rationale 2: It is inappropriate to suggest that other children can take the place of the lost one.
Rationale 3: Speaking of future plans validates the loss of a hoped-for child.
Rationale 4: It might be appropriate for the parents to say this, but never for the nurse.
