This allows the parents to make an informed decision based on their beliefs, values, and medical advice provided by the healthcare provider. It is important for parents to have all the necessary information and support to make the best decision for their child's well-being. The decision to circumcise is a personal one and should be made after careful consideration and consultation with a healthcare professional.

Question 5 of 5
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.
