Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. The bladder is compressed by the growing uterus throughout pregnancy. Increased pressure begins early in the first trimester, when the uterus is still located in the pelvis.
2. During the second trimester, the uterus rises into the abdomen, and bladder pressure is decreased. However, late in the third trimester, when the fetal presenting part descends, an even greater increase in bladder pressure is created.
3. The bladder is compressed by the growing uterus throughout pregnancy. Increased pressure begins early in the first trimester, when the uterus is still located in the pelvis.
4. The bladder is compressed by the growing uterus throughout pregnancy. Increased pressure begins early in the first trimester, when the uterus is still located in the pelvis.
