QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS|AGRADE

(RASMUSSEN COLLEGE)

Question 1

2 / 2 pts

A woman is 15 weeks pregnant with her first baby. She asks how long it will

be before she feels the baby move. The best answer is:

“You should have felt the baby move by now.”

“Some babies are quiet, and you don’t feel them move.”

“The baby is moving; however, you can’t feel it yet.”

Correct!

“Within the next month, you should start to feel fluttering sensations.”

Maternal perception of fetal movement usually begins 16 to 20 weeks

after conception. Because this is her first pregnancy, movement is felt

toward the later part of the 16- to 20-week time period. Stating that

“you should have felt the baby move by now” is incorrect and may be

alarming to the patient. Fetal movement should be felt by 16 to 20

weeks. If movement is not felt by the end of that time, further

assessment will be necessary.

Correct!

Correct!

The appendix is displaced high and to the right, beyond McBurney

point.

Displaced upward and laterally, high and to the left.

Deep at McBurney point.

Displaced upward and laterally, high and to the right.

is:

Question 2 / 2 pts 2

A woman is at 14 weeks of gestation. The nurse would expect to palpate the

fundus at which level?

Slightly above the symphysis pubis

Slightly above the umbilicus

At the level of the umbilicus

Not palpable above the symphysis at this time

Question 2 / 2 pts 3

The nurse caring for the pregnant client must understand that the hormone

essential for maintaining pregnancy is:

Estrogen.

Question 2 / 2 pts 5

Correct!

In normal pregnancies, the uterus grows at a predictable rate. It may

be palpated above the symphysis pubis sometime between the twelfth

and fourteenth weeks of pregnancy. As the uterus grows, it may be

palpated above the symphysis pubis sometime between the twelfth

and fourteenth weeks of pregnancy. The uterus rises gradually to the

level of the umbilicus at 22 to 24 weeks of gestation.

Amenorrhea is a presumptive sign of pregnancy. Presumptive signs of

pregnancy are felt by the woman. A positive pregnancy test, the

presence of Chadwick’s sign, and the presence of Hegar’s sign all are

probable signs of pregnancy.

Amenorrhea.

Hegar’s sign.

Positive pregnancy test.

Chadwick’s sign.

A woman at 10 weeks of gestation who is seen in the prenatal clinic with

presumptive signs and symptoms of pregnancy likely will have:

Question 2 / 2 pts 4

Correct!

Correct!

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).

Oxytocin.

Progesterone.

Progesterone is essential for maintaining pregnancy; it does so by

relaxing smooth muscles. This reduces uterine activity and prevents

miscarriage. Estrogen plays a vital role in pregnancy, but it is not the

primary hormone for maintaining pregnancy. hCG levels increase at

implantation but decline after 60 to 70 days. Oxytocin stimulates

uterine contractions.

Numerous changes in the integumentary system occur during pregnancy.

Which change persists after birth?

Chloasma

Telangiectasia

Striae gravidarum

Epulis
