Answer to Question 1

C
Maternal age over 35 is an indication for amniocentesis. History of preterm labor would be a contraindication for amniocentesis. Maternal blood type A negative indicates a risk of Rh incomparability, which is not an indication for amniocentesis. Paternal age of 40 is not considered a risk factor for any conditions for which amniocentesis is performed.

Answer to Question 2

C
Although Kubler-Ross and Davidson have documented phases of grief and grieving with characteristic behaviors of each phase, grief is an individual response. Telling the mother that men are unable to express their feelings is an opinion, not an appropriate nursing response. Asking about marital difficulties or suggesting that the woman confront her husband are inappropriate responses for this scenario.
