Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Up-slanting eyes, wide short fingers, and low-set ears are often seen in infants with Down syndrome. Bleeding tendency, edema of extremities, and abnormal genitalia are not characteristics of Down syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The final decision about genetic testing and the future of the pregnancy lies with the client. The client will involve only those people whom she chooses. The final decision about the future of the pregnancy lies only with the client. An amniocentesis is done to detect chromosomal defects; many women have this done to prepare and educate themselves for the baby's arrival. The woman should also be assured that her care is confidential. Insurance will help cover expenses, but birth defects also take a toll on the emotional, physical, and social aspects of the parents' lives. Support groups are extremely important for parents of a baby with birth defects.
