Rationale 1: A slight increase in pulse is an expected finding during pregnancy due to the increased oxygen consumption to support fetal metabolism.
Rationale 2: Tachypnea is not a normal finding, and requires medical care.
Rationale 3: A slightly higher temperature is an expected finding during pregnancy due to the increased oxygen consumption to support fetal metabolism.
Rationale 4: A blood pressure of 134/82 is within normal limits.
