Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in her first trimester of pregnancy and asks the nurse if she can continue to exercise during pregnancy. Which of the following responses by the nurse is appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Daily jogging for up to 30 minutes is fine throughout the pregnancy. This response is appropriate because moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, like jogging, is generally safe and beneficial during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. Jogging helps improve cardiovascular fitness and can help manage weight gain. It is important to advise the client to listen to her body, stay hydrated, and avoid overexertion.
Choice A is incorrect because exercising during pregnancy is recommended, as long as it is safe and appropriate for the individual.
Choice B is incorrect as activities that raise body temperature, such as saunas and hot tubs, are not safe during pregnancy as they can lead to overheating.
Choice D is incorrect as pregnant clients are encouraged to engage in a variety of exercises, including aerobic activities, not just limiting to stretching activities.
