Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Chadwick's sign is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy and consists of a bluish discoloration of the cervix, vulva, and vagina. The nurse would inspect the woman for this discoloration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Progesterone is the hormone primarily responsible for maintaining a pregnancy. Estrogen promotes hyperplasia and hypertrophy during pregnancy. After implantation, the trophoblast secretes human chorionic gonadotropin, which prompts the corpus luteum to continue progesterone production until the placenta takes over the job. Oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions during labor.
