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.

the nurse knows that management of primary dysmenorrhea often requires a multifaceted approach.

Management of primary dysmenorrhea often requires a multifaceted approach. The nurse who provides care for a client with this condition should be aware that the optimal pharmacologic therapy for pain relief is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are considered the optimal pharmacological therapy for pain relief in primary dysmenorrhea. They work by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing uterine contractions and pain. NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and mefenamic acid are commonly used to alleviate menstrual cramps. Acetaminophen may also provide pain relief, but it does not have the anti-inflammatory properties of NSAIDs. Oral contraceptives (OCPs) can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce pain in some individuals, but they are not the first line of treatment for immediate pain relief in primary dysmenorrhea. Aspirin, while an NSAID, is not typically recommended for menstrual pain relief due to its potential side effects on blood clotting and gastrointestinal irritation.
