Answer to Question 1

2. Genetic testing may reduce stress if negative..

Rationale:
Genetic testing can help relieve psychological stress on the parents if the results are negative. Genetic testing will make it more difficult to obtain health insurance if the results are positive. If the tests are negative, the family will not need resources. Telling the parents that testing should have been done before pregnancy is inappropriate and would only serve to heighten the family's anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

C
Diurnal voiding habits can be assessed by asking, Can you postpone urination for two hours? Urinary retention can be assessed by asking, Do you feel you completely empty your bladder? Urinary incontinence can be assessed by asking, Do you leak urine or lose bladder control? Nocturia can be assessed by asking, Does the urge to urinate interrupt your sleep?
