A nurse is caring for a client who has Crohn's disease.
The nurse calculates that the client's BMI is 17.2. The nurse should document the client's weight status as being within which of the following categories?

A. Incorrect. It's important to alternate breasts during feedings to ensure both breasts are stimulated and milk supply is well-maintained.
B. Incorrect. Manually expressing milk can help stimulate milk production and maintain milk supply; it typically does not decrease milk supply.
C. Correct. Frequent and effective breastfeeding, along with proper latching and milk removal, stimulates the production of more milk.
D. Incorrect. Breastfeeding should continue for as long as the baby is actively sucking and swallowing. Babies vary in their feeding patterns, and the length of time at each breast can differ. It's essential to ensure the baby is adequately fed and empties the breast to stimulate milk supply.

A. Placenta previa: The client's symptoms do not specifically suggest placenta previa, which is characterized by painless vaginal bleeding, not back pain.
B. Disseminated intravascular coagulation: The client's symptoms and vital signs do not suggest disseminated intravascular coagulation, which is a serious condition characterized by excessive bleeding and clotting throughout the body.
C. Preeclampsia: The presence of uterine contractions, elevated blood pressure, and a potential increase in body temperature can indicate the risk of developing preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems, often developing after the 20th week of pregnancy.
D. Sepsis: While the client has an elevated temperature, the symptoms provided do not strongly indicate sepsis. Other signs, such as rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, and changes in mental status, are usually associated with sepsis.
E. Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PROM): The client's report of lower back pain, pinkish vaginal discharge, and uterine contractions can raise concern for the risk of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes, where the amniotic sac ruptures before the onset of labor.
F. Seizures: The client's symptoms and information provided do not indicate a risk of seizures. Seizures can be associated with conditions like preeclampsia but are not directly indicated by the client's current assessment.
