Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Goodell sign refers to the softening of the cervix. Hegar sign refers to the softening of the lower uterine segment. Chadwick sign refers to the change in coloration of the mucous membranes of the female genitalia during pregnancy. Ladin sign refers to the softening of the mid uterus during pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
During pregnancy it is normal for vaginal secretions to be increased, white, and odorless, also called leukorrhea. The presence of leucorrhea is normal and does not require a culture or additional subjective information. It is appropriate to document the findings of the nursing assessment.
