Explanation

The correct answer is choice D.

Choice A rationale:

While a urinary tract infection can cause frequent urination, it’s usually accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or burning during urination.

Choice B rationale:

Trauma to pelvic muscles can cause urinary incontinence, not necessarily increased frequency.

Choice C rationale:

Urinary overflow is a condition where the bladder is always full and can lead to frequent leakage of urine.

Choice D rationale:

Postpartum diuresis is the body’s way of getting rid of excess fluid accumulated during pregnancy, leading to increased urine production and frequency.

A. Brownish vaginal discharge. B. Cervical dilation. C. Amniotic fluid in the vaginal vault. D. Report of pain above the umbilicus.

Choice B rationale:

Cervical dilation is a definitive sign that labor has started.

Pain above the umbilicus is not a typical sign of labor.
