Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure recommended by the physician is a combination of a blood test and ultrasound sonography, which is known as a first-trimester screen. It is a non-invasive test used to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome and other birth defects. Amniocentesis is an invasive test that involves removing a sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus, embryoscopy is an invasive procedure that involves inserting a scope into the uterus, and a sonogram is just an ultrasound used to visualize the fetus. Therefore, the best choice in this scenario is C, the first-trimester screen.
