Question

Which statements correctly identify the differences between an antepartal screening and diagnostic testing? Select all that apply. Diagnostic testing identifies anomalies or birth defects. Screening tests will identify the need for further testing. Screening tests can confirm abnormalities, and a diagnostic test will give more specific information on the anomaly. Screening tests are used to identify those who are not affected by a disease or abnormality, and a diagnostic test can definitively determine if a fetus is normal or abnormal. Screenings are usually noninvasive and carry no risk to the fetus. Diagnostic tests are often invasive and can carry risks including possible pregnancy loss. Diagnostic testing is offered to all pregnant woman regardless of risk factors, but screening tests are reserved for only the most high-risk pregnancies.
