Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse should provide the couple with all necessary information about a procedure so that the couple can make an informed decision.
The nurse's role is to inform, not to advise.
Decision making should always lie with the couple involved. The nurse should provide in-formation so that couple can make an informed decision.
Ensuring fetal safety is not possible with all of the diagnostic testing. To offer this is to give false reassurance to the parents. The nurse can inform the couple about potential problems so they can make an informed decision.

Answer to Question 2

D
