   What nursing diagnosis is suggested by the woman's statement? A) Deficient knowledge related to drug and herbal effects during pregnancy

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
This patient is evidently unaware of the fact that herbs pose risks to her fetus and that such risks are not limited to drugs. The nurse should address this knowledge gap. Acute confusion suggests a deficit in cognitive processes, not a lack of relevant and accurate information.
