A) Painful breast tissue
B) Positive pregnancy test
C) Fetal movements felt by the nurse
D) Visualization of the fetus by ultrasound
E) Fetal heart rate separate from the patient's
C, D, E
Feedback:
There are only three documented or positive signs of pregnancy—demonstration of a fetal heart separate from the mother's, fetal movements felt by an examiner, and visualization of the fetus by ultrasound. Painful breast tissue is a presumptive sign of pregnancy. A positive pregnancy test is a probably sign of pregnancy.
