Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Swimming is a good activity for pregnant women and is not contraindicated as long as membranes are intact. It increases muscle tone but may help relieve backache. Pregnancy is not the time to learn to ski or ride a bicycle because the lack of skill could result in many falls. Jogging is questionable because of the strain the extra weight of pregnancy places on the knees.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Pregnant women should not soak for long periods in extremely hot water or hot tubs because heat exposure for a lengthy time could lead to hyperthermia in the fetus and birth defects, specifically esophageal atresia, omphalocele, and gastroschisis. Playing table tennis, performing low-impact aerobics, and the environment of the gym are not comments that indicate the need for additional teaching.
