Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Chadwick sign appears during pregnancy and is the appearance of a bluish-purple coloration of the cervix due to vascular congestion. Nabothian cysts are yellow and nodular and are benign areas that may appear after childbirth. Vascularity of the cervix also contributes to the softening of the cervix, and is called Goodell sign. Nabothian cysts are yellow and nodular and are benign areas that may appear after childbirth. Expulsion of the mucous plug at the endocervical canal produces a bloody show at the initiation of labor.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
During pregnancy, the vascularity of the cervix increases and contributes to the softening of the cervix. This is a normal finding called Goodell sign. Nabothian cysts are yellow and nodular and are benign areas that may appear after childbirth. Chadwick sign, also occurring during pregnancy, is the appearance of a bluish-purple coloration of the cervix due to vascular congestion. Hegar sign refers to a softening of the lower uterine segment during pregnancy.
