Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Measuring fundal height is usually initiated around 22 weeks of gestation. The measurement is recorded in centimeters and should closely approximate the weeks of gestation. A woman who is 29 weeks pregnant should have a fundal height of 29 cm (11.4 inches). This woman's fundal height is too small for her gestation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This woman has symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) and may be pregnant. A urine sample will help with evaluation of all of her symptoms, but blood in the urine can produce a false-positive pregnancy test. To assist the woman in providing a suitable urine specimen for laboratory testing, the nurse teaches her how to obtain a midstream urine sample. Obtaining an order for an intravenous pyelogram is not indicated at this time.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
