A One problem that can interfere with milk consumption is lactose intolerance, which is the inability to digest milk sugar because of a lack of the enzyme lac-tose in the small intestine. Milk consumption may cause abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea in such people, although many lactose-intolerant individ-uals can tolerate small amounts of milk without symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

A
Because hemorrhage and Rh isoimmunization are potential complications of amniocentesis, this information is very important to review prior to amniocentesis. Results of the AFP test, gestational age of the pregnancy, and blood chemistry results are not a priority to review prior to amniocentesis.
