Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Measuring fundal height is usually initiated around 22 weeks of gestation. The measurement is recorded in centimeters and should closely approximate the weeks of gestation. A woman who is 29 weeks pregnant should have a fundal height of 29 cm (11.4 inches). This woman's fundal height is too small for her gestation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This woman has symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) and may be pregnant. A urine sample will help with evaluation of all of her symptoms, but blood in the urine can produce a false-positive pregnancy test. To assist the woman in providing a suitable urine specimen for laboratory testing, the nurse teaches her how to obtain a midstream urine sample. Obtaining an order for an intravenous pyelogram is not indicated at this time.
