The nurse is teaching an early pregnancy class for patients in the first trimester of pregnancy. Which statement requires immediate intervention by the nurse?
 
  1. When my nausea is bad, I will drink some ginger tea.
  2. The fatigue I am experiencing will improve in the second trimester.
  3. It is normal for my vaginal discharge to be green-colored.
  4. I will urinate less often during the middle of my pregnancy.

Question 2

The parents of a preterm newborn wish to visit their baby in the NICU. A statement by the nurse that would not support the parents as they visit their newborn is:
 
  1. Your newborn likes to be touched.
  2. Stroking the newborn will help with stimulation.
  3. Visits must be scheduled between feedings.
  4. Your baby loves her pink blanket.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Ginger helps nausea, and is safe for use during pregnancy.
Rationale 2: First-trimester fatigue is common; fatigue usually improves during the second trimester.
Rationale 3: Increased white vaginal discharge, leucorrhea, is common during pregnancy. Green discharge is not a normal finding, and indicates a bacterial infection.
Rationale 4: As the uterus rises in the pelvis during the second trimester, urinary frequency improves. Urinary frequency increases again during the end of the third trimester as the fetal head descends into the pelvis.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Statements that encourage the parents to touch the newborn will help them bond with their child.
Rationale 2: Statements that encourage the parents to stroke the newborn will help them bond with their child and provide stimulation.
Rationale 3: The nurse always should encourage parents to visit and get to know their newborn, even in the NICU.
Rationale 4: Comments that personalize the baby will tell the parents their baby is unique and special.
