What should nurses do to support migrant farm workers receiving prenatal care?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Correct Answer: C Rationale: 1. Evaluate occupational hazards: Nurses should identify potential risks faced by migrant farm workers during pregnancy. 2. Provide education: Nurses should educate on how to minimize exposure to hazards. 3. This approach promotes a safe prenatal environment for both the mother and the baby. Summary: A. Offering medication without proper assessment can be harmful. B. Heavy lifting can increase the risk of complications and should be avoided. D. Referring all patients for mental health resources may not address the specific needs of migrant farm workers.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: rubella. Rubella is a TORCH infection that can be spread through respiratory droplets. It can cause congenital heart defects, cataracts, deafness, and central nervous system abnormalities in infants if the mother is infected during pregnancy. Rubella is known to have teratogenic effects on the developing fetus. Toxoplasmosis (A) is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food or water, not respiratory droplets. Syphilis (B) is primarily sexually transmitted or through vertical transmission during pregnancy. Cytomegalovirus (D) is typically transmitted through bodily fluids like saliva, blood, urine, and breast milk, not solely through respiratory droplets.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: assessing for signs of vaginal bleeding. In placenta previa, the placenta covers the cervix, leading to potential bleeding. Assessing for vaginal bleeding is crucial to monitor the patient's condition and detect any signs of hemorrhage. Administering oxytocin (A) can increase bleeding and is contraindicated. Assisting with a vaginal delivery (B) can be dangerous due to the placental location. Performing a vaginal exam (D) can increase bleeding and should be avoided unless necessary for an emergency situation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Glucosuria. Preeclampsia is characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, and edema. Glucosuria is not a typical symptom of preeclampsia. It indicates the presence of glucose in the urine, which is a sign of diabetes rather than preeclampsia. Therefore, glucosuria would not present as a symptom of preeclampsia. Other choices (A, B, D) are incorrect because they are commonly associated with preeclampsia based on pathophysiology and clinical presentation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because spontaneous termination of a pregnancy before 20 weeks is considered a miscarriage, not an abortion. Choice B is incorrect because fetal weight does not determine the classification of the termination. Choice C is incorrect as passing products of conception intact does not define the type of termination. Choice D is also incorrect as the absence of intrauterine infection does not determine if the termination is considered a spontaneous abortion.
