Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The pregnant woman needs additional fluids, so she should not reduce her total intake. Drinking less in the evening will mean fewer nighttime trips to the bathroom. Urinary frequency is caused by the pressure of the enlarging uterus on the bladder and will diminish about the fourth month of pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Common discomforts in the first trimester include nausea with or without vomiting, urinary frequency, breast tenderness, and leukorrhea (vaginal discharge). Dyspnea, leg cramps, and constipation are more common in the second or third trimesters.
