Answer to Question 1

D
The only positive signs of pregnancy are auscultation of fetal heart tones, visualization of the fetus by ultrasound, and fetal movement felt by the examiner.
Fetal movement is a presumptive sign of pregnancy.
Amenorrhea is a presumptive sign of pregnancy.
Breast changes are a presumptive sign of pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

B
