Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Since milk products are not part of the of this woman's diet, it should be respected and
other alternatives offered. Also, lactose intolerance is common.
B Pregnancy is considered hot; therefore the woman would eat cold foods.
C Fruits and vegetables are cold foods and included in the diet. In family dynamics,
however, the husband does not dictate to the wife in this culture.
D The diet should be improved by increasing foods acceptable to the woman. These foods
are common in the Asian diet and are good sources of calcium and iron.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. CVS carries a higher risk of miscarriage.
2. Amniocentesis is not done until 16 weeks' gestation. CVS is typically performed between 10 and 12 weeks' gestation.
3. CVS is typically performed between 10 and 12 weeks' gestation. Amniocentesis is not done until 16 weeks' gestation. Because it is performed earlier in the pregnancy and the results are usually back in 24 hours, CVS has the advantage of providing diagnostic information earlier.
4. Risks of CVS include intrauterine infection.
