Answer to Question 1

C
When a patient has an amniocentesis, fetal heart tones should be monitored. There are no fluid or food restrictions, and the patient should be told to contact her physician to obtain results, which are usually available after 2 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

D
Smoking reduces the amount of functional hemoglobin in blood, thus decreasing tissue oxygenation. Smoking may increase platelet aggregation and hypercoagulability. Smoking interferes with normal cellular mechanisms that promote release of oxygen to tissues.
