Increased heart rate
Increased systemic vascular resistance
Decreased vascular resistance
Increased stroke volume
2- What hormone is responsible for the decrease in systemic vascular resistance during pregnancy?
Progesterone
Estrogen
Vasopressin
Human chorionic gonadotropin
3- What results would you find if you were to take a arterial blood gas during a typical pregnancy?
Compensated metabolic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Compensated respiratory alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis
4- If you were to check a woman's thyroid status throughout a normal pregnancy what would you typically find?
An enlarged thyroid gland with hypothyroidism
An overall euthyroid state
No change in gland size, but moderate hyperthyroidism
Enlarged thyroid gland with a hyperthyroid state
5- During pregnancy most pulmonary volumes and capacities change from the non-pregnant state. What value remains relatively unchanged?

6- What is the major cause of the decrease in residual volume in a pregnant woman?
Increased respiratory rate
Increase of the overall vital capacity
Elevation of the diaphragm
Estrogen and progesterone hormonal interactions
