A nurse is teaching routine prenatal care to a group of clients who are pregnant.
Which of the following statements by a client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A.

I will be able to hear my baby's heartbeat when I am 6 weeks pregnant.

B.

I will have monthly prenatal visits for the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.

C.

I will have a complete blood count performed at each prenatal visit.

D.

I will have a blood test to check for neural tube defects when I am 32 weeks pregnant

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale

The fetal heartbeat is typically detectable by Doppler around 10-12 weeks, not as early as 6 weeks.

 

Choice B rationale

Monthly prenatal visits up to 28 weeks are standard practice for monitoring pregnancy.

 

Choice C rationale

A complete blood count is not performed at every prenatal visit but at specific intervals.

 

Choice D rationale

The blood test for neural tube defects, such as AFP, is usually done around 16-18 weeks, not 32 weeks.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Methadone is often prescribed to pregnant women with opioid use disorder and is considered safe for breastfeeding. Breastfeeding can provide additional benefits such as bonding

and transferring antibodies to the infant.

Choice B rationale

Methamphetamine use during pregnancy is linked to fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, and low birth weight, not fetal macrosomia (large body size).

Choice C rationale

Reducing environmental stimuli is essential for neonates exposed to substances in utero. Increased stimuli can overwhelm their underdeveloped nervous systems, leading to stress

and adverse outcomes.

Choice D rationale

Fetal alcohol syndrome is characterized by growth deficiencies, facial abnormalities, and central nervous system dysfunction. An increased head circumference is not a typical

feature; rather, microcephaly (small head circumference) is more common.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Cesarean birth is not necessarily required for GBS-positive clients as long as IV antibiotic prophylaxis is administered during labor to prevent transmission to the newborn.

Choice B rationale

IV antibiotic prophylaxis, typically with penicillin or ampicillin, is given to GBS-positive clients during labor to prevent neonatal GBS infection.

Choice C rationale

Obtaining a vaginal culture at 39 weeks of gestation is not necessary if the client was already screened and found positive for GBS at 36 weeks.

Choice D rationale

Metronidazole is used to treat bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis, not GBS infection; thus, it is not appropriate for this scenario. .
