Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
If done properly, these tests are about 97 accurate. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is present in the blood and urine around the end of the first week after conception.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
These signs and symptoms are common in the early stage of pregnancy. However, they only suggest pregnancy. They do not provide definitive evidence of pregnancy because they could be attributed to other causes.
