A nurse is providing teaching about immunizations to a client who is pregnant. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

A.Jogging or any form of vigorous exercise, especially high-impact activities, should generally be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks after retinal surgery. This is because high-impact activities can increase intraocular pressure and potentially disrupt the healing retina. Jogging involves bouncing or jolting movements, which could adversely affect the repair.

B. Bending at the waist places increased pressure on the eye and can disrupt the healing process after retinal surgery. This action increases intraocular pressure and is typically discouraged postoperatively.

C. Light lifting, such as lifting objects under 10 pounds, is typically allowed after several weeks of recovery, once the initial healing has occurred and the client is no longer at risk for increasing intraocular pressure or straining the surgical site.

D. While sewing itself is a low-impact activity, the act of sewing typically involves bending over or placing the head below the waist, which could still increase intraocular pressure. Early postoperative instructions often caution against activities that involve bending or straining the eyes, such as sewing, reading, or watching TV for extended periods.

D. Correct. After surgical repair of a detached retina, clients should avoid activities that might increase intraocular pressure, like heavy lifting or bending at the waist. Activities that do not strain the eye, like sewing, can typically be resumed earlier.

A. Correct. Influenza immunization is recommended for pregnant individuals, and it can be given at any time during pregnancy, especially during flu season.
B. Incorrect. The hepatitis B immunization is safe during pregnancy and can be administered if indicated, regardless of breastfeeding status.
C. Incorrect. Rubella immunization is not recommended during pregnancy due to potential risks to the fetus. It should be given prior to pregnancy or after delivery.
D. Incorrect. Varicella immunization is also not recommended during pregnancy due to potential risks. It should be administered before pregnancy or after delivery if needed.
