To solve the problem, we start by using the given information and trigonometric identities.

### Part (a)
Given:
\[
\sin(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{14}}{19}
\]

Since \(\theta\) is in the first quadrant, both sine and cosine are positive. The relationship between \(\sin(\theta)\) and \(\cos(\theta)\) is given by the Pythagorean identity:
\[
\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1
\]

Substituting the value of \(\sin(\theta)\):
\[
\left(\frac{\sqrt{14}}{19}\right)^2 + \cos^2(\theta) = 1
\]

Simplify the square of \(\sin(\theta)\):
\[
\frac{14}{361} + \cos^2(\theta) = 1
\]

Subtract \(\frac{14}{361}\) from both sides:
\[
\cos^2(\theta) = 1 - \frac{14}{361} = \frac{361}{361} - \frac{14}{361} = \frac{347}{361}
\]

Taking the square root of both sides:
\[
\cos(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{347}}{19}
\]

Since \(\theta\) is in the first quadrant, \(\cos(\theta)\) is positive, so:
\[
\cos(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{347}}{19}
\]

### Part (b)
In the second quadrant, the sine of \(\theta\) remains the same, but the cosine is negative. Thus, the exact value of \(\cos(\theta)\) in the second quadrant is:
\[
\cos(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt{347}}{19}
\]

### Final Answers:
- (a) \(\cos(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{347}}{19}\)
- (b) \(\cos(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt{347}}{19}\)
