The nurse should respond that a CVS and amniocentesis are two different tests. However, they are similar in nature.

Further Explanation:

The Chorionic villus sampling or CVS is a test performed on pregnant women when they are around 11-13 weeks pregnant. This test is not painful but is described as being uncomfortable. This test can cause a miscarriage within 2 days of the procedure but there have been cases where the miscarriage occurs up to two after procedure. This procedure checks for several abnormalities in the fetus such as;

  • Down Syndrome
  • Cystic Fibrosis
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Sex of baby

An amniocentesis is done later in the pregnancy usually after 15 weeks. This test is performed by putting a needle in the stomach and getting a sample of fluids to be tested for abnormalities in the fetus also. This test is considered to be 99% correct and the CVS is considered to be 98% correct.
