A patient calls the clinic in a panic because she discovers she is pregnant after having unprotected sex.
 
  Shortly thereafter the patient ingested alcohol and acetaminophen. She is concerned about causing damage to the fetus. What should the nurse respond to the patient?
 
  A) Why did you have unprotected sex if you had been drinking?
  B) You didn't know you were pregnant, so you haven't done anything wrong. The fetus isn't exposed to the mother's blood until after it implants, so the wedding's not an issue. But, don't have any more alcohol while you're pregnant.
  C) Exposure to alcohol can cause facial deformities, low birth weights, and underdeveloped brains.
  D) You didn't know you were pregnant, so you haven't done anything intentionally wrong. But alcohol is very damaging to the growing fetus, so you'd better be sure to stop drinking. Do you need any support for that?
