During a care conference, a nurse shares the latest research on improving breastfeeding success for first-time mothers.
Which Quality and Safety Education for Nurses competency does this action support?

Choice A rationale

The symptoms described by the client do not typically align with conditions that would lead to Anticipate A. Anticipate A might be expected for a different set of symptoms or conditions.

Choice B rationale

The symptoms described by the client do not typically align with conditions that would lead to Anticipate B. Anticipate B might be expected for a different set of symptoms or conditions.

Choice C rationale

The symptoms described by the client do not typically align with conditions that would lead to Anticipate C. Anticipate C might be expected for a different set of symptoms or conditions.

Choice D rationale

The client’s symptoms of recent painful sores on the perineum, muscle aches, and chills, along with current discomfort when sitting and mild vaginal itching, could suggest a herpes simplex virus infection or another type of infection. Anticipate D might be an antiviral medication or other treatment to address the suspected condition.

Choice A rationale

A cough and fever in a client at 38 weeks of gestation could indicate an infection, which should be addressed promptly. However, it is not as immediately life-threatening as painless vaginal bleeding at 28 weeks of gestation, which could indicate a serious complication such as placental abruption.

Choice B rationale

Nausea and vomiting at 14 weeks of gestation are common symptoms of early pregnancy and, while uncomfortable, are not usually a sign of a serious problem. This client should be seen, but not before a client with a potentially life-threatening condition like painless vaginal bleeding.

Choice C rationale

Painless vaginal bleeding at 28 weeks of gestation is a serious symptom that could indicate placental abruption, a condition where the placenta detaches from the uterus, which can be life-threatening for both the mother and the baby. This client should be seen first.

Choice D rationale

Vaginal spotting in a client who has missed a period could indicate early pregnancy or a number of other conditions. While this client should be seen to confirm the cause of the spotting, it is not as immediately urgent as painless vaginal bleeding at 28 weeks of gestation.
