Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
The average preschool-age child will grow 2.5 to 3 inches per year. A measurement of 43.5 inches would indicate a 3-inch increase and would be within the normal range.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
The client is in her first trimester and would most likely experience urinary frequency as the growing uterus presses on the bladder. Ankle edema, backache, and hemorrhoids would be more common during the later stages of pregnancy.
