Question 1 of 5
A pregnant woman undergoes a triple/quadruple screen at 16 to 18 weeks' gestation. What would the nurse suspect if the woman's alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level is decreased?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Decreased AFP, with altered hCG and estriol, suggests Down syndrome (trisomy 21). Sickle-cell anemia, cardiac defects, and respiratory disorders don't typically lower AFP; cardiac defects may raise it.
