A) with slightly elevated blood glucose levels can be managed and monitored. Low hemoglobin levels at 28 weeks (choice
C) may require treatment but are not as urgent as potential preeclampsia. Urinary symptoms at 39 weeks (choice

This is essential at 37 weeks of gestation to ensure the baby is healthy and responding appropriately.
Summary of other choices:
A: Incorrect - The test duration can vary, but it typically takes longer than 10 to 15 minutes.
B: Incorrect - The client may need to change positions during the test to optimize fetal monitoring.

A nurse is teaching a client who has pregestational type 1 diabetes mellitus about management during pregnancy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because continuing to take insulin even when experiencing nausea and vomiting is crucial for managing blood glucose levels in pregestational type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting can lead to decreased food intake, which may result in hypoglycemia if insulin doses are not adjusted accordingly. It is important for the client to maintain stable blood glucose levels for optimal fetal health.
Summary of Incorrect
Choices:
A: Increasing insulin doses during the first trimester may not be necessary and should be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
B: Exercising with blood glucose levels of 250 or greater is not safe and can lead to further hyperglycemia.
D: Consuming a bedtime snack high in refined sugar can cause blood glucose spikes and should be avoided in diabetes management.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is in active labor. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: PHR baseline 170/min. A baseline fetal heart rate (FHR) of 170/min is considered tachycardia in labor, which may indicate fetal distress. The nurse should report this finding to the provider promptly for further evaluation and intervention. Contractions lasting 80 seconds (choice
A) are within the normal range. Early decelerations (choice
B) are typically benign and do not require immediate intervention. A temperature of 37.4° C (choice
C) is slightly elevated but not a critical finding in active labor.
Therefore, choice D is the most concerning and requires immediate attention.
