Answer to Question 1

B
Because an abnormally small amount of amniotic fluid restricts normal lung development, the infant may have inadequate respiratory function after birth, when the placenta no longer performs respiratory function.
Oligohydramnios may be caused by a decrease in urine secretion.
Excessive amniotic fluid production may occur when the fetus has a central nervous system abnormality.
Excessive amniotic fluid production may occur when the gastrointestinal tract prevents nor-mal ingestion of amniotic fluid.

Answer to Question 2

A
Prolonged exposure to amniotic fluid during the fetal period could result in breakdown of the skin without the protection of the vernix caseosa.
Normal peripheral nervous system development is dependent on nutritional intake of the mother.
The amnion is the inner membrane that surrounds the fetus. It is not involved in the oxygen and nutrient exchange.
The amniotic fluid aids in maintaining fetal temperature.
