Question 2

A client complains that during her first months of pregnancy, It seems like I have to go to the bathroom every five minutes. The nurse relates to the client that this is because:
 
  1. The client probably has a urinary tract infection.
  2. Bladder capacity increases throughout pregnancy.
  3. The growing uterus puts pressure on the bladder.
  4. Some women are very sensitive to body function changes.

Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. The bladder is compressed by the growing uterus throughout pregnancy. Increased pressure begins early in the first trimester, when the uterus is still located in the pelvis.
2. During the second trimester, the uterus rises into the abdomen, and bladder pressure is decreased. However, late in the third trimester, when the fetal presenting part descends, an even greater increase in bladder pressure is created.
3. The bladder is compressed by the growing uterus throughout pregnancy. Increased pressure begins early in the first trimester, when the uterus is still located in the pelvis.
4. The bladder is compressed by the growing uterus throughout pregnancy. Increased pressure begins early in the first trimester, when the uterus is still located in the pelvis.
