This question-specific review guide is tied to the answer reasoning for a PracticeTestVault item. Use it after you answer the question so the review stays focused on what the prompt actually tested.
What this question is testing
Objective: Aneuploidy screening
Prompt focus: Increased fetal nuchal translucency measured at 11 to 14 weeks is associated with an increased risk of which of the following?
Why the correct answer works
Chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 21
Increased nuchal translucency is associated with chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 21.
Why the tempting wrong answer fails
The tempting wrong answer usually loses because it skips the key condition, priority, or evidence in the prompt.
Plain-language takeaway
Nuchal translucency is the fluid collection behind the fetal neck measured in the late first trimester. An increased measurement is associated with chromosomal abnormalities, including trisomy 21, and certain structural defects.
Simple analogy
Think of aneuploidy screening like following a short checklist: identify the clue, confirm the rule, and then make the move that fits this exact scenario.
