Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Constipation is a common problem in pregnant women. Nurses should advise women to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, avoid straining to have a bowel movement, and increase their fiber intake. Exercise is important to prevent constipation. Small, frequent meals are not related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Nasal stuffiness and congestion are common complaints in pregnancy. Increased fluid intake can help thin the mucus and mobilize it. Decongestant sprays should be avoided due to the rebound effect. Blowing the nose gently can help prevent nosebleeds that are common due to nasal edema.
