A pregnant client's mother is worried that her daughter is not big enough at 20 weeks of gestation. The nurse palpates and measures the fundal height at 20 cm, which is even with the woman's umbilicus.
What should the nurse report to the client and her mother? a. The body of the uterus is at the belly button level, just where it should be at this time.
b. You're right. We'll inform the practitioner immediately.
c. When you come for next month's appointment, we'll check you again to make sure that the baby is growing.
d. Lightening has occurred, so the fundal height is lower than expected.
Question 2
An expectant couple asks the nurse about intercourse during pregnant and if it is safe for the baby. The nurse should tell the couple:
a. Intercourse should be avoided if any spotting from the vagina occurs afterward.
b. Intercourse is safe until the third trimester.
c. Safer sex practices should be used once the membranes rupture.
d. Intercourse and orgasm are often contraindicated if a history of or signs of preterm labor are present.
The nurse uses a noninvasive bladder ultrasound to measure the client’s bladder volume.
