Together, they tell the nurse that Mary has had nausea, vomiting, and headaches for the past 2 weeks. She has vomited "almost every day." 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. A prenatal assessment was begun. Ms. Wooly answered most of the questions even though they were directed at Mary. Last menstrual period was estimated to be 2 months ago. Menses onset began 4 years ago. Ht: 5?8? Wt: 125 lbs Medium frame size She described her usual dietary intake as including hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, candy, and colas.
