A client at 18 weeks' gestation thinks she might have been exposed to a toxin at work that could affect fetal development and asks what organs might be affected at this point in the pregnancy. How should the nurse respond to this client?
1. The brain is developing now and could be affected.
2. Because you are in the second trimester, there is no danger.
3. It's best to not worry about possible problems with your baby.
4. The internal organs like the heart and lungs could be impacted.
Question 2
At her first prenatal visit, the client states, I'm 5 weeks pregnant now and I would like to hear my baby's heartbeat today. How should the nurse respond?
1. Anticipate that the client will be scheduled for Doppler ultrasound.
2. Prepare to assist with auscultation of the fetal heartbeat using a fetoscope.
3 Explain to the client that the fetal heartbeat is not yet detectable at 5 weeks' gestation.
4. Explain to the client that the fetal heart does not begin to beat until approximately 7 weeks' gestation.
