Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Palmar erythema is a reddish discoloration of the palms and occurs in about 60 of Caucasian women and in about 35 of African American women during pregnancy. Although the nurse should assess the patient's vital signs during the visit, there is no need to do so specifically tied to this condition. Palmar erythema is not related to measles or Reynaud's phenomenon, which is a vascular condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Goodell's sign is softening of the cervix that occurs due to hormonal influences. It is not related to fetal heart tones or contractions. Chadwick's sign is a bluish discoloration of the cervix, vulva, and vagina.
