Answer to Question 1

C
The primary purpose for performing ultrasound at 17 weeks' gestation is to determine gestational age of the fetus. Although estimated fetal weight may be obtained through ultrasound, it is not the most important factor. At 17 weeks, fetal lung maturity is not an ultrasound finding. Placental maturity is not an ultrasound finding at 17 weeks' gestation.

Answer to Question 2
