Rationale: The correct answer is C because continuing to take insulin even when experiencing nausea and vomiting is crucial for managing blood glucose levels in pregestational type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting can lead to decreased food intake, which may result in hypoglycemia if insulin doses are not adjusted accordingly. It is important for the client to maintain stable blood glucose levels for optimal fetal health.
Summary of Incorrect
Choices:
A: Increasing insulin doses during the first trimester may not be necessary and should be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
B: Exercising with blood glucose levels of 250 or greater is not safe and can lead to further hyperglycemia.
D: Consuming a bedtime snack high in refined sugar can cause blood glucose spikes and should be avoided in diabetes management.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client following an amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider as a potential complication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Leakage of fluid from the vagina. This finding could indicate an amniotic fluid leak, which is a potential complication following an amniocentesis. Amniotic fluid leakage can lead to infection and preterm labor. Increased fetal movement (choice
A) is a normal sign of fetal well-being. Upper abdominal discomfort (choice
C) and urinary frequency (choice
D) are common after an amniocentesis and are not typically concerning unless severe or persistent.

Exhibit1:
Nurses' Notes 0900:Client reports a small amount of bright red blood in their underwear upon
awakening. Client denies contractions or abdominal pain. External fetal monitor applied.

Question 4 of 5
Which of the following nursing actions should the nurse plan to take? For each potential nursing action, click to specify it the intervention is indicated or contraindicated for the client.
| Potential Nursing Action | Indicated | Contraindicated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insert a large bore intravenous catheter. | |||
| Assess cervical dilation. | |||
| Weigh perineal pads. | |||
| Administer methotrexate. |
Correct Answer: A, C
Rationale: [1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1]
Inserting a large bore IV catheter is indicated for rapid fluid resuscitation. Weighing perineal pads helps monitor postpartum hemorrhage. Assessing cervical dilation and administering methotrexate are not appropriate in this scenario.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to implement? For each potential nursing action, click to specify if the intervention is Indicated or contraindicated for the newborn
| Potential Nursing Action | Indicated | Contraindicated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Educate the parents to begin range of motion exercises on the affected arm after 1 week. | |||
| Assess for grasp reflex in the affected extremity. | |||
| Immobilize the arm across the abdomen by pinning the newborn's sleeve to their shirt. | |||
| Instruct parents to limit physical handling for 2 weeks. |
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: [0, 1, 0, 0]
Assess for grasp reflex in the affected extremity is the correct answer. This action is indicated as it allows the nurse to evaluate neurological function and muscle strength in the affected arm without causing harm. Educating parents to begin range of motion exercises after 1 week (
A) is contraindicated as it may exacerbate injury or delay healing. Immobilizing the arm across the abdomen (
C) is also contraindicated as it can restrict movement and hinder recovery. Instructing parents to limit physical handling for 2 weeks (
D) is not the best option as it may not provide the necessary assessment and treatment for the newborn's condition.
