A nurse is assessing a client who is at 31 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings show potential prenatal complication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Blurred vision is a potential prenatal complication during the third trimester of pregnancy and can be a sign of conditions such as preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. It is important for the nurse to further assess this finding and consult with the healthcare provider to ensure appropriate management and monitoring of the client's condition. Periodic tingling of fingers, absence of clonus, and leg cramps are common discomforts during pregnancy and do not typically indicate a prenatal complication.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Abruptio placentae is characterized by painful bleeding and requires immediate intervention.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The ductus arteriosus bypasses fetal lungs. The umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood, and arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the placenta.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct statement indicating an understanding of car seat safety is "I should place the car seat rear facing until my baby is 12 months old." This statement reflects the current recommendation by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which suggests that infants should ride in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least 2 years old or until they reach the maximum height or weight limit allowed by the car seat manufacturer. This position provides the best protection for the baby's head, neck, and spine in the event of a crash. The other statements are incorrect:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Condom use reduces the risk of HIV transmission even between seroconcordant partners.
