Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
For routine pregnancies, prenatal visits are usually scheduled from 4 to 28 weeks of gestation. At that time, visits are scheduled every 2 weeks from 28 to 36 weeks, at which point the patient is then seen weekly until she goes into labor (Choby, 2008).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
If radiology studies are warranted, an ultrasound is safe and effective in diagnosing intra-abdominal conditions during pregnancy. Current knowledge indicates that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is safe during pregnancy, but computed tomography (CT) scans expose the fetus to doses of ionizing radiation (Sakornbut, 2008a).
