, Question 1
Topic alignment: Preconception Folic Acid (preconception)
During care-plan review, which action is inconsistent with safe management of a
person planning pregnancy? The nurse has just assumed responsibility for the
patient and is validating the current plan.
A. Encourage preconception health review and appropriate folic-acid
supplementation before conception
B. Teach that folic acid is most protective when adequate intake begins before
neural-tube closure early in pregnancy
C. Wait until the second trimester to discuss folic-acid intake
D. Monitor medication exposures, chronic conditions, nutrition, and readiness for
pregnancy care
Answer: C. Wait until the second trimester to discuss folic-acid intake
Rationale: Wait until the second trimester to discuss folic-acid intake requires correction
before implementation. This matter because Neural-tube development occurs early, so
folate status before and during early pregnancy is important. The alternatives each
contribute to safe care at the appropriate phase, whereas this action adds risk without a
compensating benefit. This prioritization keeps the nurse focused on the most relevant
risk in preconception care rather than selecting an action simply because it is generally
helpful. In this Preconception Folic Acid case, the contextual cue is that the nurse has just
assumed responsibility for the patient and is validating the current plan.
Question 2
Topic alignment: Preconception Folic Acid (preconception)
The preceptor reviews a student nurse’s plan for Preconception Folic Acid. Which
action should the preceptor stop? The patient was reassessed after a change in
symptoms, and the nurse is comparing the findings with baseline.
A. Monitor medication exposures, chronic conditions, nutrition, and readiness for
pregnancy care
B. Encourage preconception health review and appropriate folic-acid
supplementation before conception
