Question 1 of 5
The first-trimester pregnant client asks the nurse if the activities in which she participates are safe in the first trimester. Which activity should the nurse verify as a safe activity during the client’s first trimester?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sexual activity is not contraindicated in pregnancy unless a specific risk factor is identified. Hair coloring should be avoided in the first trimester because the chemicals can be absorbed and pose a risk to the developing fetus. Hot tub use should be avoided because it increases the client’s body temperature. Maternal hyperthermia during the first trimester raises concerns about possible spontaneous abortion, CNS defects, and failure of neural tube closure. Exposure to pesticides during pregnancy increases the risk for preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, childhood developmental delays, and infertility later in adulthood.
