A woman who is 12 weeks' gestation asks the nurse if she can undergo chorionic villus sampling (CVS) testing in order to determine whether her baby has a neural tube defect. Which response is best?
 
  1. Yes, at 12 weeks' gestation, CVS can be used to diagnose a neural tube defect.
  2. No, because CVS testing is not performed until after 20 weeks' gestation.
  3. Yes, at 12 weeks' gestation, CVS is combined with amniocentesis to diagnose neural tube defects.
  4. No, because CVS testing alone at any stage cannot detect neural tube defects.
