Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Knee-high stockings interfere with circulation, leading to edema and increasing the risk of blood clots forming in the legs. Soap should not be used to wash the nipples. Douching is not recommended, unless ordered by the care provider for treatment of a vaginal infection. Douching may actually introduce infection. A soft toothbrush is used because the gums are soft and bleed more easily.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The accepted weight gain is 3 to 4 lbs per month in the first trimester, then 1 lb per week for a total of 25 to 35 lbs.
