Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Normal variations of uterine position include anteversion (the uterus is tilted forward, the cervix is tilted downward), midposition (the uterus lies parallel to the tailbone, the cervix is pointed straight), and retroversion (the uterus is tilted backward, the cervix is tilted upward). Abnormal variations of uterine position include anteflexion (the uterus is folded forward at a 90-degree angle, the cervix is tilted downward).

Answer to Question 2

Goodell's sign refers to the softening of the cervix during pregnancy.
