Choice B rationale
Clients with gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus later in life due to glucose intolerance.
Choice C rationale
Intensive fetal monitoring is necessary to detect potential complications such as macrosomia, hypoglycemia, and fetal distress in GDM clients.

Correct Answer is ["A","D"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Placing the mother in the knee-chest position helps relieve pressure on the umbilical cord, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the fetus.
Choice B rationale
Encouraging vigorous pushing can exacerbate the prolapse, reducing blood flow to the fetus and increasing the risk of complications.
Choice C rationale
Applying a warm compress to the umbilical cord is not effective in managing a prolapsed cord and does not improve fetal outcomes.
Choice D rationale
Administering oxygen to the mother increases the amount of oxygen delivered to the fetus, potentially mitigating the effects of the prolapse.
