Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
As the uterus enlarges and becomes heavier, the mother's center of gravity shifts forward. Progressive curvature of the spine enables her to maintain balance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An increased blood pressure in pregnancy requires further assessment. Increased heart rate, blood volume, and white blood cells are normal during physiologic changes during pregnancy.
