Answer 1

Answer:

Option B= false.

Explanation:

Okay, before delving into the question, let me explain some important terms in this question and the explanations is given below;

FUNDUS: Fundus is found at the upper region of the uterus. The height of Fundus can be measured and after like twenty weeks, the height of the Fundus is exactly or correspond to the numbers of week a pregnant woman has been pregnant.

BLADDER DISTENTION: it is caused by the blockage off the urethra. This blockage if urinary system cause the bladder to become bigger.

So, let us go back to the question, the nurse found out that the Fundus is 2 cm above the umbilicus and deviated to the right, and according to the nurse, this is caused by the bladder being full which is displacing the fundus, this is FALSE.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT: there was BLEEDING MORE THAN NORMAL from the pregnant woman which cause the bladder TO SWELL and this pushes the FUNDUS to the Left.
