Answer to Question 1

B
Once all the anniversaries have past, reorganization becomes the grief focus. After the initial feelings of shock and numbness are over, parents experience anger and guilt. During the first 6 to 8 months following the pregnancy lost, most parents are still feeling disorganized during this time. Parents would cope with each death separately.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, F
The three main purposes for genetic screening are 1) to provide early recognition of a disease for which effective intervention and therapy exist, before symptoms occur, for example, PKU; 2) to provide identification of carriers of a genetic disease for the purpose of maximizing parenthood planning options, for example, Tay-Sachs disease; and 3) to obtain population data on frequency, spectrum, and natural history of a genetic disease, for example,
chromosomal abnormalities in newborns.
