Answer to Question 1

A
Risk assessment is used to identify those pregnant women with risk factors that could negatively impact maternal or fetal outcomes. Reducing prenatal costs, preventing prematurity, and preventing the birth of infants with congenital anomalies may decrease risk, but they are only part of the goal.

Answer to Question 2

D
Fetal monitoring has decreased the number of children born with brain damage. Ultrasonography is an important tool in diagnosing maternal, neonatal, and women's health conditions. Endoscopy is an important tool in diagnosing women's health issues, but is not related to decreasing the incidence of brain-damaged infants. Rho GAM has decreased the incidence of Rh isoimmunization.
