Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
Infants have less pigmentation in their skin, placing them at increased risk for skin damage from ultraviolet radiation. The infant's skin is thinner, the epidermis is loosely connected, and there is less subcutaneous fat.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
Before an amniocentesis, the woman should empty her bladder to reduce the risk of bladder puncture during the procedure. Showering with an antiseptic scrub and pre-procedural sedation are not necessary. The woman usually is positioned in a way that provides an adequate pocket of amniotic fluid on ultrasound.
