A nurse is providing teaching to a client about the gastrointestinal and genitourinary changes of pregnancy. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

Slower satiety.

Nausea.

Vomiting.

Constipation.

Urinary frequency.

Nocturia.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C,D,E,F

Choice A rationale

Pregnancy generally leads to slower gastric emptying due to increased progesterone, but satiety is not directly slowed.

Choice B rationale

Increased progesterone levels during pregnancy slow gastric motility, leading to nausea, especially in the first trimester.

Choice C rationale

Vomiting is also common due to hormonal changes, specifically elevated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels.

Choice D rationale

Constipation occurs because increased progesterone reduces bowel motility and increases water absorption in the colon.

Choice E rationale

The growing uterus places pressure on the bladder, leading to increased urinary frequency.

Choice F rationale

Nocturia occurs as the kidneys filter more blood and the uterus compresses the bladder, especially in later stages of pregnancy.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Ultrasonography provides the most accurate assessment of gestational age, especially in the first trimester, by measuring the crown-rump length.

Choice B rationale

HCG levels can indicate pregnancy but are not as accurate for determining the exact gestational age.

Choice C rationale

Nagele's rule is based on the menstrual cycle and may not be accurate if cycles are irregular.

Choice D rationale

Fundal height measurement is less accurate in early pregnancy and more useful in later trimesters.

A. Linea nigra. B. Eczema. C. Striae gravidarum. D. Psoriasis. E. Chloasma.

Correct Answer is ["A","C","E"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Linea nigra, a dark line on the abdomen, appears due to increased melanocyte-stimulating hormone during pregnancy.

Choice B rationale

Eczema is not specifically associated with pregnancy and can occur independently of it.

Choice C rationale

Striae gravidarum, or stretch marks, are due to skin stretching and increased cortisone during pregnancy.

Choice D rationale

Psoriasis is not commonly related to pregnancy changes and occurs regardless of pregnancy.

Choice E rationale

Chloasma, also known as the mask of pregnancy, is due to increased pigmentation from hormonal changes.
