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?
I will be able to hear my baby's heartbeat when I am 6 weeks pregnant.
I will have monthly prenatal visits for the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.
I will have a complete blood count performed at each prenatal visit.
I will have a blood test to check for neural tube defects when I am 32 weeks pregnant
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 C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Patterned breathing techniques can help in managing pain by focusing on controlled breathing, reducing anxiety, and providing a distraction from the pain, but are not specifically targeting back labor pains.
Choice B rationale
Effleurage involves light circular strokes on the abdomen and can help in managing general labor pain, but may not be as effective specifically for back labor pains.
Choice C rationale
Sacral counterpressure involves applying steady pressure to the sacral area, which can help relieve pain caused by back labor by counteracting the discomfort experienced in this
area.
Choice D rationale
Guided imagery involves using mental visualization to distract from pain and promote relaxation, but may not be as effective in relieving the specific pain associated with back labor.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Wound infection usually presents with redness, warmth, and swelling, not just yellow exudate. The presence of yellow exudate alone typically does not indicate an infection.
Choice B rationale
Ulceration would involve the breakdown of skin or tissue, which is not indicated by the presence of yellow exudate. Ulcerations are more severe and painful than normal post-
circumcision healing.
Choice C rationale
Exposure to urine can cause irritation but does not typically result in yellow exudate. Proper diapering and cleaning prevent this irritation, and exudate is part of the healing process,
not a result of urine exposure.
Choice D rationale
Healing is indicated by the presence of yellow exudate, which is a normal part of the healing process post-circumcision. It signifies that the glans is recovering as expected. .
