Match the test with the description
4: Amniocentesis
1. Maternal blood screening performed between 15 and 20 weeks
of gestation with 16 to 18 weeks being ideal. The elevated
11: amniotic fluid index
presence of this substance in maternal blood may be an
(AFI)
indication of neural tube defects.
2.
A noninvasive test using the external fetal monitor to assess
3: biophysical profile
fetal well-being
(BPP)
3. A noninvasive ultrasound of the fetus assessing fetal breathing
9: cell-free DNA (cfDNA)
movements, fetal movements, fetal tone and fetal heart rate
and amniotic fluid volume.
10: chorionic villus
4.
An invasive procedure where amniotic fluid is extracted using a
sampling (CVS)
needle and guided ultrasound. The fluid can then be tested for

chromosomal disorders or fetal lung maturity. Not generally

performed prior to 13-14 weeks gestation.
5. When fetal movements cease entirely for 12 hours

used alone to assess the fetus and placenta or in conjunction

1: maternal serum AFP
8. Mother tracks fetal movements
(MSAFP}
9. Newer screening test that analyzes maternal blood for fetal
DNA to determine chromosomal abnormalities.
13: Multiple marker
10.
An invasive procedure performed between 10 and 13 weeks of

from the placenta that reflects the genetic makeup of the fetus.
11.
An estimation of the total amniotic fluid volume
14: percutaneous

together to determine if there may be fetal chromosomal

abnormalities.
14. An invasive test that removes and analyzes fetal blood taken
from the umbilical cord. Can be used to further analyze
amniocentesis or CVS results and to assess for fetal anemia or
infection.
15. A fetal monitoring test to evaluate whether a fetus can
withstand contractions.
