Question 1 of 5
The nurse should recognize which of the following findings as an expected physiologic change during pregnancy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: An increase in lordosis. During pregnancy, the center of gravity shifts forward due to the growing uterus, leading to an increase in the curvature of the lumbar spine (lordosis). This change helps to maintain balance and compensate for the added weight of the developing fetus. Increased abdominal muscle tone (choice
A) is not an expected change as the abdominal muscles may actually stretch and weaken to accommodate the growing uterus. Decreased mobility of pelvic joints (choice
B) is incorrect because during pregnancy, hormonal changes can actually increase the mobility of pelvic joints to prepare for childbirth. Posterior neck flexion (choice
D) is unrelated to the physiologic changes in pregnancy.
