Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D

Answer to Question 2

A
A risk with amniocentesis is the onset of spontaneous contractions.
The supine position may decrease uterine blood flow; the side-lying position is preferred.
Pressure dressings are not necessary.
Hydration is important, but the woman has not been NPO so this should not be a problem.
