Question 5 of 5
Which complication of adolescent pregnancy should the nurse plan to monitor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Incompetent cervix, also known as cervical insufficiency, is a condition where the cervix begins to dilate and efface prematurely due to weak cervical tissue. This can lead to late miscarriage or preterm birth. Adolescent mothers are at a higher risk for this complication due to their immature reproductive systems. Therefore, the nurse should plan to monitor for signs and symptoms of incompetent cervix in adolescent pregnant clients to prevent adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Anemia, placenta previa, and abruptio placenta are other potential complications of pregnancy, but they are not specifically associated with adolescent pregnancy.
