Question

) Which of the following does not occur during pregnancy?
a. a woman's respiratory rate and tidal volume increase.
b. maternal nutrient requirements increase.
c. maternal blood volume increases.
d. a woman's bladder capacity increases.
e. a woman's glomerular filtration rate increases.

Answer 1

During pregnancy, a woman's respiratory rate and tidal volume increases, as well as its maternal nutrient requirement. A woman's maternal blood also increases when it is pregnant and the glomerular filtration rate as well. But a woman's bladder capacity will not increase when it is pregnant. So the correct letter of the answer is letter D.
