Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Blood and urine samples are taken to provide baseline data and to reveal important conditions that could affect the mother during pregnancy or her baby. An electrocardiogram is not usually required. X-raying the pelvis would not be appropriate because radiation exposure can harm the fetus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Preconception care is health care and screening conducted before pregnancy occurs so that medical risks or lifestyle behaviors can be identified, managed, or changed before conception. The normalcy of pregnancy is greatly influenced by pre-pregnancy health.
