A nurse is reviewing ways to prevent a TORCH infection during pregnancy with a group of newly licensed nurses.
Which statement by the nurse indicates understanding of the teaching?

A.

Seek prophylactic treatment if cytomegalovirus is detected during pregnancy.

B.

A woman should avoid changing the cat litter box while pregnant.

C.

A woman should avoid crowded places during pregnancy.

D.

Obtain an immunization against Rubella early in pregnancy.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale

Prophylactic treatment for cytomegalovirus during pregnancy isn't generally recommended. CMV detection should lead to close monitoring rather than prophylactic treatment, as

current treatments pose risks without guaranteed efficacy.

 

Choice B rationale

Avoiding cat litter is crucial during pregnancy to prevent toxoplasmosis infection, which can cause severe fetal harm, including hydrocephalus, mental disabilities, and seizures, by

transferring through contact with cat feces.

 

Choice C rationale

While avoiding crowded places can reduce general infection risks, it is not specifically associated with preventing TORCH infections. TORCH infections refer to a set of perinatal infections that pose particular risks to fetal health.

 

Choice D rationale

Rubella immunization should be done before pregnancy, not during, as live vaccines carry risks. A woman should confirm immunity before conception to protect against congenital rubella syndrome.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

The supine position is not recommended for breastfeeding because it can lead to issues with latching and milk flow, making it uncomfortable and potentially unsafe.

Choice B rationale

The cradle position is a common and effective breastfeeding position where the baby's head rests in the crook of the mother's arm, allowing for close contact and support.

Choice C rationale

Upright with chin support is not a standard breastfeeding position and may not provide the necessary support or alignment for effective breastfeeding.

Choice D rationale

Over-the-shoulder is also not a recommended breastfeeding position as it is impractical and does not facilitate proper latching or feeding.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

A family history of breast cancer, particularly in a close relative like a sister, is a significant risk factor for breast cancer.

Choice B rationale

Exposure to radiation, particularly in the chest area, increases the risk of developing breast cancer.

Choice C rationale

Current use of oral contraceptives can slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, though the risk diminishes after stopping the pills.

Choice D rationale

Age less than 25 years is not a risk factor for breast cancer; risk increases with age.
