Question 1 of 5

The nurse is conducting a physical assessment of the pregnant client. Which physiological cervical changes associated with pregnancy should the nurse expect to find? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: A,B,D

Rationale: Cervical changes associated with pregnancy include the formation of the mucus plug. Endocervical glands secrete a thick, tenacious mucus, which accumulates and thickens to form the mucus plug that seals the endocervical canal and prevents the ascent of bacteria or other substances into the uterus. This plug is expelled when cervical dilatation begins. Cervical changes associated with pregnancy include a bluish-purple discoloration of the cervix (Chadwick’s sign) from increased vascularization. Cervical changes associated with pregnancy include the softening of the cervix (Goodell’s sign) from increased vascularization and hypertrophy and engorgement of the vessels below the growing uterus. Colostrum does occur with pregnancy but is a physiological change associated with the breasts and not with a cervical change. Cullen’s sign is a bluish discoloration of the periumbilical skin caused by intraperitoneal hemorrhage. It can occur with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy or acute pancreatitis.
