Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 10 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Frequent vomiting with weight loss of 3 lb in 1 week can indicate hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. This finding is concerning and requires immediate medical attention to prevent complications. Reporting this to the provider allows for timely intervention.
Other choices are incorrect:
B: Reports of mood swings are common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and are not typically a cause for immediate concern.
C: Nosebleeds occurring approximately 3 times per week can be due to increased blood flow during pregnancy and are usually not a significant concern unless severe or persistent.
D: Increased vaginal discharge is a common symptom in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes and increased blood flow to the pelvic area. It is not typically an urgent issue unless accompanied by other symptoms like itching or foul odor.
