Answer to Question 1

A
Amenorrhea and nausea are physiological changes that may indicate pregnancy in the first tri-mester.
Braxton-Hicks contractions are noted during the second trimester of pregnancy.
Shortness of breath is commonly seen in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Increased colostrum is commonly seen in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

B
If a person does not want to learn, it is unlikely that learning will occur. Motivation is the first factor the nurse should assess before teaching.
To determine learning needs, the nurse should assess the client's previous knowledge level. However, this would not be the most important factor for the nurse to assess first.
Assessing a client's financial resources for obtaining equipment is important; however, it is not the most important factor for the nurse to assess first.
Assessing the client's physical and cognitive ability to learn is important. However, it is not the most important factor for the nurse to assess first.
