Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The five observations in the biophysical profile are fetal breathing movements, gross fetal movements, fetal heart rate variability and reactivity, fetal muscle tone, and the amniotic fluid index.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ultrasound imaging provides an image of the fetus and placenta. Therefore, it can be used to rule out some fetal abnormalities. The placental implantation site can be visualized, but adequacy of placental function is assessed using Doppler ultrasound.
