Answer to Question 1

Visit-to-visit evaluation of fundal height provides a general pattern of fetal growth. At 20 weeks' gestation, the fundal height should be generally 20 cm and 25 cm at 25 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

Cold therapy is used to decrease blood flow to an area by promoting vasoconstriction and increasing blood viscosity. If the client can tolerate the cold, leave the cold application in place for approximately 20 minutes.
