Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a positive pregnancy test. The nurse is teaching the client about common discomforts in the first trimester of pregnancy as well as warning signs of potential danger. The nurse should instruct the client to call the clinic if she experiences which of the following manifestations?

A. Facial edema B. Nausea and vomiting C. Leukorrhea D. Urinary frequency

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Rationale:
Choice A, facial edema, is a warning sign of potential danger in early pregnancy as it could indicate preeclampsia, a serious condition. Preeclampsia can lead to high blood pressure and affect the placenta's function.

Choices B, C, and D are common discomforts in the first trimester and do not necessarily indicate danger. Nausea and vomiting are common in early pregnancy, leukorrhea is normal vaginal discharge, and urinary frequency is a common symptom due to hormonal changes. It is important for the nurse to educate the client on recognizing warning signs like facial edema to ensure early intervention if necessary.
