The nurse has completed a community presentation about the changes of pregnancy, and knows that the lesson was successful when a community member states, "One probable or objective change of pregnancy is:
1. "Enlargement of the uterus.".
2. "Hearing the baby's heart rate.".
3. "Increased urinary frequency.".
4. "Nausea and vomiting.".
1
Rationale 1: Objective or probable changes of pregnancy are those that the examiner can detect but are not diagnostic because they can be caused by issues other than pregnancy. Enlargement of the uterus is a probable change.
Rationale 2: Hearing the fetal heart rate is a diagnostic, or positive, change of pregnancy.
Rationale 3: Increased urinary frequency is a subjective, or presumptive, change of pregnancy.
Rationale 4: Nausea and vomiting are subjective, or presumptive, changes of pregnancy.
