Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
There are several physiological factors that cause urinary frequency and possible incontinence during pregnancy. Kegel exercises can improve both symptoms. The patient should remain well hydrated and void frequently. Sit-ups will not help with urinary frequency.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Lifting from a supine position can cause vena cava syndrome and decreased placental perfusion, so the woman should be instructed to adjust the weight bench to a tilted position. Heavy weights can overload the loosened joints, so using lighter weights with more repetitions is recommended. Holding the breath can cause a Valsalva maneuver, which decreases placental perfusion. Resistance bands are preferred to reduce the likelihood of abdominal injury.
