A first-trimester pregnant patient asks the nurse whether she may continue her yoga classes. The best answer the nurse could give is:
 
  1. Yoga positions are safe during pregnancy.
  2. Care must be taken when you perform yoga positions that require balance.
  3. Stretching that accompanies yoga is safe during pregnancy.
  4. Positions lying on the back must be avoided, but other positions are safe.

Question 2

The nurse is educating a patient on intrauterine devices (IUDs). The advantages of an IUD that the nurse includes are that: Note: Credit will be given only if all correct and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply.
 
  1. It is effective, continuous contraception.
  2. It is relatively inexpensive over time.
  3. It does not need to be inserted immediately prior to coitus.
  4. Small amounts of estrogen are released daily.
  5. It slightly increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Some yoga positions such as lying on the abdomen or on the back are not recommended in the second or third trimester.
Rationale 2: As the center of balance shifts with the advancing size of the uterus, care must be taken when assuming poses that require balance.
Rationale 3: Stretching should be done with caution because of relaxed ligaments in the pelvis.
Rationale 4: Some yoga positions such as lying on the abdomen are not recommended in the second or third trimester.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: One advantage of IUDs is a high rate of effectiveness.
Rationale 2: One advantage of IUDs is the relatively low cost over time.
Rationale 3: null
Rationale 4: IUDs do not have estrogen activity.
Rationale 5: No IUD available today, contrary to common myth, increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
