Rationale: During the second trimester, the reduction in gastric
acidity in conjunction with pressure from the growing uterus and

Decrease intestinal motility would most likely be the cause of
constipation and bloating. Estrogen levels decrease in the second
trimester.

The nurse is developing a teaching plan for a patient who is 8
weeks pregnant. The LPN should tell the patient that she can
expect to feel the fetus move at which time?
A. Between 10 and 12 weeks' gestation
B. Between 16 and 20 weeks' gestation
C. Between 21 and 23 weeks' gestation
D. Between 24 and 26 weeks' gestation - ANSWER- B
Rationale: A pregnant woman usually can detect fetal
movement (quickening) between 16 and 20 weeks' gestation.
Before 16 weeks, the fetus is not developed enough for the
woman to detect movement. After 20 weeks, the fetus continues
to gain weight steadily, the lungs start to produce surfactant, the
brain is grossly formed, and myelination of the spinal cord
begins.
