A woman calls the clinic to report that she had a positive home pregnancy test and asks how reliable these are. The nurse's most appropriate response is:
 
  a. The tests are 100 accurate.
  b. Accuracy is very high if the test instructions are followed exactly.
  c. The home kits test for hCG, which is not present until the third month of pregnancy.
  d. Because they are highly inaccurate, these kits should not be relied on to diagnose pregnancy.
