Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

1,3,5
Rationale 1: A primary function of amniotic fluid is to prevent adherence of the embryofetus to the amnion (decreasing the chance of amniotic band syndrome) to allow freedom of movement.
Rationale 2: A primary function of amniotic fluid is to control fetal temperature, but it is the heat released from the mother that keeps the amniotic fluid warm and the fetal temperature normal.
Rationale 3: A primary function of amniotic fluid is to act as an extension of fetal extracellular space.
Rationale 4: Although the fetus will swallow amniotic fluid, it is not dependent upon the amniotic fluid for water intake.
Rationale 5: A primary function of amniotic fluid is to act as a wedge during labor.
