A nurse is assessing a client diagnosed with cirrhosis.
Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

Choice A rationale

It is not recommended to increase weight-bearing exercises during pregnancy. Weight-bearing exercises can put additional stress on the joints, which are already under strain due to the increased weight and changes in body shape during pregnancy.

Choice B rationale

It is not necessary to refrain from exercises that include stretching during pregnancy. In fact, gentle stretching can be beneficial to help alleviate some common discomforts of pregnancy such as backache and leg cramps.

Choice C rationale

Moderate exercise does improve circulation. Improved circulation can help reduce swelling, varicose veins, and feelings of fatigue, which are common during pregnancy.

Choice D rationale

It is not necessary to rest for 30 minutes before each new exercise. However, pregnant women should listen to their bodies and rest if they feel tired.

Choice A rationale

Hypoglycemia is a common complication in newborns, especially those who are 8 hours old. The newborn’s body has not yet fully developed the ability to regulate blood sugar levels, leading to hypoglycemia.

Choice B rationale

Neonatal abstinence syndrome is typically seen in newborns exposed to addictive illegal or prescription drugs while in the mother’s womb. Without additional context, it’s not clear if this applies to the newborn in question.

Choice C rationale

Hyperbilirubinemia, or jaundice, is a condition that can occur in newborns, usually a few days after birth. However, it’s less likely to develop within the first 8 hours of life.

Choice D rationale

Drug withdrawal symptoms are similar to neonatal abstinence syndrome and occur in newborns who have been exposed to certain drugs while in the womb. Again, without additional context, it’s not clear if this applies to the newborn in question.
