1. You also review Susan's lab work recalling the pregnancy test on urine or blood are
determined to be positive based on the presence of a particular hormone. This biologic
marker of pregnancy is:
human chorionic gonadotropin
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), produced by the trophoblast cells of the placenta
soon after implantation of a fertilized ovum, is a biologic marker of pregnancy. It can be
detected in maternal serum and urine as early as six days after conception, depending
on the test performed. It reaches its maximum level in 50-70 days. The presence of
HCG in Susan's blood is considered a probable sign of pregnancy. Positive pregnancy
tests can also occur if the client has certain tumors which produce HCG. Progesterone
is not a biological marker of pregnancy, but increases in progesterone levels are critical
for the maintenance of a pregnancy.

mucosa is observed. This is a sign of pregnancy and is documented as:
