Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 4. The fundal height at 20-22 weeks should be about even with the umbilicus. At 22 weeks' gestation, a fundal height below the umbilicus and the size of the uterus that is inconsistent with length of gestation could indicate fetal demise.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. The risk of hypotension can be minimized by hydrating the vascular system with 500 to 1000 mL of IV solution before the procedure and changing the woman's position and/or increasing the IV rate afterward.
