6. A nurse is performing an assessment of a primipara who is being evaluated in a clinic
during her second trimester of pregnancy. Which of the following indicates an abnormal

9. A nurse midwife is performing an assessment of a pregnant client and is assessing the client
for the presence of ballottement. Which of the following would the nurse implement to test for
the presence of ballottement?
1. Auscultating for fetal heart sounds
2. Palpating the abdomen for fetal movement
3. Assessing the cervix for thinning
4. Initiating a gentle upward tap on the cervix
