The nurse has completed a presentation for newly-pregnant women about the changes of pregnancy. Which participant's statement reflects accurate comprehension of the information?
1. "A positive Goodell's sign is a probable change of pregnancy."
2. "Three positive pregnancy tests in a one week period is considered to be a positive change of pregnancy."
3. "Uterine souffle is a positive change of pregnancy."
4. "Changes in the pelvic organs are presumptive signs of pregnancy."
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: A positive Goodell's sign can be objectively identified but may also be caused by conditions other than pregnancy; therefore, it is considered to be a probable change of pregnancy.
Rationale 2: Because other conditions may cause elevated hCG, pregnancy tests are considered probable changes of pregnancy.
Rationale 3: Because uterine souffle can be objectively identified but may be caused by conditions other than pregnancy, it is considered to be a probable change of pregnancy.
Rationale 4: Changes in the pelvic organs can be objectively identified; however, because some pelvic organ changes may be associated with conditions other than pregnancy, they are considered to be probable changes of pregnancy.
