Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Increased fetal heart rate associated with movement reflects normal ability of the heart to speed up to meet increased oxygen demands. The contraction stress test (CST) assesses fetal response to uterine contractions. Fetal lung maturity is determined by testing amniotic fluid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An elevated AFP level is found with neural tube defects such as spina bifida or anencephaly. Low levels are associated with chromosomal abnormalities.
