Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Prenatal visits are usually every 4 weeks until the woman reaches 28 to 32 weeks' gestation. Then visits are scheduled every 2 weeks until the 36th week. After that point, visits are weekly until birth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Despite planning a pregnancy, many women (and their partners) become ambivalent when faced with a positive pregnancy result. The reality of the many changes soon to come often causes them to reconsider their desire to become pregnant. There is also an aspect of self-preservation involved; many women still die from complications associated with pregnancy. The best response by the nurse is to help the woman recognize that this is a normal response. There is no need to ask the woman about intimate partner violence at this point. The other two options are dismissive and do not serve to educate the woman.
