Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Pregnancy, no matter how planned and wanted, is a developmental crisis for the woman and her family. It requires role changes and restructuring of tasks of daily living. This leads to stress. One benefit of prenatal care is having a nurse who can help the woman (and family) adjust and find positive ways to cope. Hormones and fear may play a part, but these answers do not provide a comprehensive explanation. There are physical discomforts associated with pregnancy, but, again, this answer is not comprehensive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Women are seen once every 4 weeks until 28 to 32 weeks' gestation, when the schedule changes to every 2 weeks. The nurse should schedule this woman's next visit at 34 weeks.
