A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a mother who is bottle feeding her newborn with formula. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Experiencing burning during urination is not a normal physiological change during pregnancy and could indicate a urinary tract infection. It is important to report this symptom to a healthcare provider for evaluation and appropriate management.
B. The dark line in the middle of the abdomen, known as the linea nigra, is a common and normal physiological change during pregnancy due to hormonal effects, not an indication of infection. This statement reflects a misunderstanding of normal pregnancy changes.
C. Developing discoloration on the cheeks, often referred to as the "mask of pregnancy" or melasma, is a common and expected physiological change due to hormonal fluctuations. This statement shows that the client understands a normal aspect of pregnancy.
D. Swelling of the fingers and face is not a typical or expected change during pregnancy and could indicate a serious condition such as preeclampsia. While mild swelling of the ankles and feet can be normal, swelling in these areas should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.

A. A client whose newborn is having difficulty latching-on should be addressed, but this issue is not an immediate postpartum emergency. It is important but does not require urgent intervention compared to potential complications from magnesium sulfate.
B. A client who received magnesium sulfate during labor should be seen first because magnesium sulfate can cause significant side effects like respiratory depression, decreased reflexes, and altered mental status. These effects require close monitoring to prevent severe complications.
C. A client who has a history of oligohydramnios requires monitoring but this history does not necessarily indicate an immediate postpartum issue requiring urgent assessment at this time.
D. A client whose labor lasted for 6 hr does not have an immediate concern solely based on labor duration. While it is relevant, it does not indicate an urgent need for assessment compared to the effects of magnesium sulfate.
