The pregnant client states she does not want to take all these supplements. What recommendations could the nurse make for the client? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.
 
  Select all that apply. 1. Folic acid has been found to be essential for minimizing the risk of neural tube defects.
  2. You do not have to take these supplements if you think you are healthy enough.
  3. Most women do not have adequate intake of iron pre-pregnancy, and iron needs increase with pregnancy.
  4. These medications do the same thing. I will call your physician to cancel one of your medications.
  5. You should take the folic acid, but the vitamins are not that important.

Question 2

The child has been admitted to the hospital unit newly diagnosed with retinoblastoma. The nurse would expect to see
 
  1. a red reflex.
  2. yellow sclera.
  3. a white pupil.
  4. blue-tinged sclera.

Answer to Question 1

1, 3
Explanation: 1. An inadequate intake of folic acid has been associated with neural tube defects (NTDs) (e.g., spina bifida, anencephaly).
3. Iron is essential because many pregnant women do not have adequate intake of iron before pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale: The first sign of retinoblastoma is a white pupil. The red reflex is absent. Yellow sclera is a sign of jaundice,not retinoblastoma.Blue-tinged sclera is a sign of osteogenesis imperfecta,not retinoblastoma.
