Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. The pulse will increase 1015 beats/minute during pregnancy, with 6090 beats/minute being the normal range.
2. Any adventitious breath sounds are abnormal.
3. Temperature norms in pregnancy are slightly higher due to fetal metabolism: 36.237.6C (9899.6F).
4. A blood pressure lower than 135/85 is considered normal.

Answer to Question 2

D
Scar tissue in the fallopian tubes is the most common cause of ectopic pregnancy. Delayed ovulation, disturbances of the normal menstrual cycle, and rapid transport of the fertilized egg are not factors resulting from PID.
