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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
