Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Percussion notes normally heard during the abdominal assessment may include tympany, which should predominate because air in the intestines rises to the surface when the person is supine; hyperresonance, which may be present with gaseous distention; and dullness, which may be found over a distended bladder, adipose tissue, fluid, or a mass.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pyrosis, or heartburn, is caused by esophageal reflux during pregnancy. The other options are not correct.
