Do you have your assessment textbook? Does it have a section about assessing the "mother-to-be?"

Depends on her stage of pregnancy. Obviously in early pregnancy there are not many physical assessments to be made that would differ from general health screenings, check cervix, check for any signs of STDS, infections, also screen for abuse. Later in pregnancy you'll want to be checking for funal height in addition to the aforementioned. Blood pressure is important in screening for preeclampsia.

Why don't you google it and get back to us with what you find. You can start out on your own and then look for input.

If you're a student, why is a doctor asking you to prepare something?
