The nurse identifies that the fetus is at greatest risk for:

A. macrosomia. B. congenital anomalies of the central nervous system. C. preterm birth. D. low birth weight. A

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition where high blood sugar levels develop during pregnancy in women who didn't have diabetes before pregnancy. One of the primary risks associated with GDM is fetal overgrowth, also known as macrosomia. This means the baby is larger than normal. Macrosomia can lead to complications during delivery, such as shoulder dystocia (when the baby's shoulders get stuck during delivery) and an increased risk of birth injuries for both the baby and the mother. It can also increase the likelihood of a cesarean section delivery. Therefore, preventing macrosomia is an important goal in managing GDM to ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby.
