A nurse in a provider's office is planning care for a client who has a new diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome. The nurse should plan to monitor which of the followinglaboratory values?

Rationale:

A. Smiles when a parent appears: This is a social and emotional developmental milestone typically achieved by an 8-month-old infant and is not indicative of cerebral palsy.

B. Sits with pillow props: Difficulty sitting without support or requiring props to maintain a sitting position can be a manifestation of cerebral palsy, reflecting motor delays and impaired muscle control.

C. Tracks an object with eyes: Tracking objects with eyes is a visual developmental milestone and does not directly relate to cerebral palsy.

D. Uses a pincer grasp to pick up a toy: The pincer grasp typically develops around 9 to 12 months of age and is not directly related to cerebral palsy.

A. Glucose

Rationale:

A. Glucose monitoring is essential for clients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) due to the increased risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.

B. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels are not typically monitored specifically for PCOS.

C. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels may be assessed if there is suspicion of thyroid dysfunction but are not routinely monitored for PCOS.

D. Liver function tests are not typically indicated for routine monitoring in PCOS unless there are specific signs or symptoms of liver dysfunction.
