A) This option is incorrect. Maintaining a sedentary lifestyle during pregnancy is not recommended, as moderate exercise can be beneficial for both maternal and fetal health.

B) This option is incorrect. Prenatal check-ups and ultrasounds are essential for monitoring the health and development of the fetus and identifying any potential issues, including congenital heart diseases.

C) Correct answer. Genetic counseling can help assess the risk of congenital heart diseases based on the family history and provide guidance and recommendations for future pregnancies. This counseling can assist in making informed decisions about prenatal care and potential interventions.

D) This option is incorrect. While a family history of congenital heart diseases may increase the risk, seeking appropriate medical guidance and prenatal care can help manage and address these risks.

B) Incorrect. Administering medications simultaneously may not be feasible or safe, as some medications require specific intervals between doses. The nurse should follow the prescribed administration schedule to ensure appropriate drug levels in the infant's system.

C) The answer is C. Using a medication organizer can help the nurse and the infant's parents keep track of the complex medication schedule. This helps prevent missed doses and ensures proper administration of each medication.
