Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
Interventions to reduce lower lumbar backache associated with pregnancy include pelvic rocking exercises, walking with the head high, and resting and elevating the feet. The patient should be instructed to limit the use of high heels. Twisting the spine is not recommended to help with a lumbar backache.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
During the first trimester, the pregnant woman commonly experiences ambivalence, with conflicting feelings at the same time. Introversion heightens during the first and third trimesters when the woman's focus is on behaviors that will ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy outcome. Acceptance usually occurs during the second trimester. Emotional lability (mood swings) is characteristic throughout a woman's pregnancy.
