Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
After a positive pregnancy test, the first step should be to arrange for prenatal care. This is the response that the nurse should make to the patient. The urine is not usually diluted for a home pregnancy test. The patient should not wait for 2 months before determining if she is pregnant. Eating does not impact the results of the home pregnancy test.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
As the pregnancy progresses, the areola of the nipples darkens, and its diameter increases. Enlarged lymph nodes; slack, soft breast tissue; and deeply fissured nipples are not expected breast changes in a pregnant patient.
