  2. Ultrasound to determine the number of fetuses
  3. Beta hCG to detect the location of the pregnancy

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Genetic anomalies would not create an overly large fundal height.
Rationale 2: A fundal height significantly larger than expected can be an indicator of a multi-fetal pregnancy. Ultrasound in the second trimester will detect the number of fetuses present.
Rationale 3: Two or more beta hCG tests are ordered in the first trimester to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
Rationale 4: Genetic anomalies would not create an overly large fundal height. Neither would Down syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Circumcision does not affect fertility.
Rationale 2: Premature ejaculation is a possible cause of infertility.
Rationale 3: Having the measles does not affect fertility.
Rationale 4: Being an engineer does not affect fertility.
