A nurse is instructing a female client about how to check basal temperature in order to determine if the client is ovulating. The nurse should instruct the client to check her temperature at which of the following times?

On days 13 to 17 of her menstrual cycle.

Before going to bed every night.

Every morning before arising.

One hour following intercourse.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

Checking basal temperature during specific days of the menstrual cycle does not provide as accurate an indication of ovulation as consistent daily measurements.

Choice B rationale

Checking temperature before bed may not accurately reflect basal body temperature due to daily activities affecting body temperature.

Choice C rationale

Basal body temperature should be measured every morning before arising, as this reflects the body’s lowest resting temperature and helps identify ovulation.

Choice D rationale

Checking temperature after intercourse may be affected by physical activity and does not provide an accurate basal temperature reading for ovulation tracking.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","D","E"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Vaginal bleeding is a key sign of placenta abruption due to separation from the uterine wall disrupting blood vessels.

Choice B rationale

Abdominal pain occurs as the placenta detaches, causing uterine muscle irritation and potential contractions.

Choice C rationale

Uterine tenderness results from inflammation and bleeding within the uterine wall at the site of abruption.

Choice D rationale

Fetal distress signals reduced oxygen supply due to compromised blood flow from the placenta to the fetus.

A. I am at increased risk of preterm labor. B. I am at risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. C. I will need to undergo intensive fetal monitoring. D. I will need to have a cesarean section. E. I am at risk of postpartum hemorrhage.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","E"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Gestational diabetes mellitus increases the risk of preterm labor due to potential complications such as polyhydramnios and preeclampsia.

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.

Choice D rationale

Having a cesarean section is not a requirement for all clients with GDM, as vaginal delivery is possible with well-controlled glucose levels.

Choice E rationale

Clients with GDM are at risk of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine overdistention from macrosomia or polyhydramnios.
