Question 1 of 5
A urine pregnancy test:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A urine pregnancy test detects HCG in a pregnant woman's urine. Blood levels of HCG are usually higher and register earlier than HCG levels in the urine.
Choice A is correct because urine pregnancy tests may be negative even if a blood pregnancy test is positive due to the differences in HCG levels in blood and urine.
Choice B is incorrect because a urine pregnancy test can be positive throughout pregnancy, not just in the first trimester.
Choice C is incorrect because LH (luteinizing hormone) is not the hormone detected in a pregnancy test; it is HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin).
Choice D is incorrect because not all the statements provided are true.
