Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A pregnant woman may notice an increase in urinary frequency during the first 3 months of pregnancy, until the uterus rises out of the pelvis and relieves pressure on the bladder. An increase in urination early in pregnancy is not caused by concentrated urine or a decrease in the glomerular cells of the kidney. The fetus is not adding urine to the patient's bladder.
