Ms. Wooly began to cry as she tells the nurse that Mary does not remember the date of her last menstrual period and that she is

afraid that Mary is pregnant. During this interchange, Mary appears stoic and does not cry or have any verbalizations. After a blood test that confirmed the pregnancy, Ms. Wooly became calmer.
