questions with answers |\ |\
A nurse is providing education to a client during the first prenatal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
visit. Which of the following statement by the client should
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
indicate to the nurse a need for clarification?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A. "I should drink about 2 liters of fluid each day."
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
B. "I should not drink alcoholic beverages during my pregnancy."
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
C. "I can have a moderate amount of caffeine daily."
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
D. "I should increase my calcium intake to 1,500 milligrams per
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
day" - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔D.
|\ |\ |\ |\
The client should maintain a fluid intake of about 2 to 2.3 L of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
fluid per day to provide adequate fluid for cells, blood, lymph,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and amniotic fluid.
|\ |\
"I should not drink alcoholic beverages during my pregnancy."
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Pregnancy is a contraindication for alcohol use because it can|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
lead to birth defects, delayed cognitive development, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
behavioral problems. |\
"I can have a moderate amount of caffeine daily."
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A daily allowance of 150 to 340 mg of caffeine is acceptable.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Caffeine intake should not exceed 340 mg because it can cause
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
vasoconstriction, which can cause intrauterine growth restriction |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
or a miscarriage early in pregnancy.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
"I should increase my calcium intake to 1,500 milligrams per day"
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A woman's dietary reference intake (DRI) of calcium for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pregnancy and lactation is the same for a woman who is not |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pregnant. The DRI for a woman older than 19 years of age is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,1,000 mg/day, which should supply enough calcium for fetal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
bone and tooth development and to maintain maternal bone
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mass.

B. Fatigue|\
C. Fetal heart tones detected by ultrasound

D. Positive urine pregnancy test - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔C.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Breast tenderness |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
MY ANSWER |\
Fetal heart tones are a positive sign of pregnancy because the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
presence of fetal heart tones can only be explained by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pregnancy.
Positive urine pregnancy test |\ |\ |\
A positive urine pregnancy test, a probable sign of pregnancy,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
can have other causes, such as a pelvic infection or a tumor.

, A nurse in a community clinic is counseling a client who received
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a positive test result for chlamydia. Which of the following

C. "You have to avoid sexual relations for 3 days."
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
D. "You need to return in 6 months for retesting." - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔A. |\ |\
"This infection is treated with one dose of azithromycin."A single
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
dose of azithromycin is an appropriate treatment for a chlamydial
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
infection. An acceptable alternative is doxycycline twice a day
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for 7 days. |\ |\
"If your sexual partner has no symptoms, no medication is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
needed."Chlamydia is often asymptomatic in women. The |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
evaluating, testing, and treating all of a client's sexual partners.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
"You have to avoid sexual relations for 3 days."MY ANSWERThe
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
abstaining from sexual relations for 7 days after a single-dose
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
antibiotic or until the client completes a 7-day course of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
antibiotics.
"You need to return in 6 months for retesting."The client should
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
return for chlamydia testing in 3 months.
