A woman with a long history of controlled asthma has just had her first antenatal visit for her fourth child. She is late for a meeting and says she knows what to do. What is the best action the nurse can take?
A) Remind her to continue taking her asthma medications, to monitor her peak flow daily, and to monitor the baby's kicks in the second and third trimesters
B) Acknowledge her need to leave but ask her to demonstrate the use of her inhaler and her peak flow meter before she goes; make any necessary corrections to her technique. Remind her to take her regular medications
C) Schedule an appointment for her to return to discuss her asthma management
D) Note in the chart that the woman was not counseled about her asthma
Question 2
A 32-year-old woman with epilepsy tells the nurse that she is thinking about getting pregnant and asks the nurse's advice. What is an appropriate answer for the nurse to give?
A) You should talk to the doctor about that; the medications you're on can damage the fetus.
B) Do you want to talk to a counselor who can help you weigh the pros and cons of having your own child rather than adopting?
C) I'll let the doctor know so you can discuss your medications. In the meantime, I'll give you a list of folate-rich foods you can add to your diet.
D) That's great. I've got a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old myself.
