Examples of sexual risk behaviors associated with exposure to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) include: (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: The order in which the information is presented is not the most important factor, as it does not affect the client's motivation or ability to learn. The order of the information should be logical and sequential, but it can vary depending on the client's needs, preferences, and learning style. The nurse should assess the client's prior knowledge and tailor the teaching accordingly.

Choice B reason: The extent to which the pregnancy was planned is not the most important factor, as it does not determine the client's interest or willingness to learn. The pregnancy may be planned or unplanned, but the client may still have questions, concerns, or goals related to the pregnancy. The nurse should respect the client's feelings and emotions and provide support and guidance.

Choice C reason: The client's readiness to learn is the most important factor, as it influences the client's engagement and retention of the information. The client's readiness to learn depends on the client's perception of the relevance, importance, and benefits of the information, as well as the client's physical, psychological, and social readiness. The nurse should assess the client's readiness to learn and use appropriate strategies to enhance it, such as setting realistic and specific objectives, providing positive feedback, and involving the client in the learning process.

Choice D reason: The client's educational background is not the most important factor, as it does not reflect the client's learning needs or capabilities. The client's educational background may vary, but the client may still have similar or different learning needs depending on the pregnancy situation. The nurse should not assume the client's level of understanding or knowledge based on the client's educational background, but rather use simple and clear language, avoid medical jargon, and check for comprehension.

Choice A reason: Magnesium sulfate does not improve patellar reflexes and increase respiratory efficiency. In fact, it may cause hyporeflexia and respiratory depression as adverse effects. These are signs of magnesium toxicity and require immediate intervention.

Choice B reason: Magnesium sulfate does not prevent a boggy uterus and lessen lochial flow. A boggy uterus is a sign of uterine atony, which can lead to postpartum hemorrhage. Lochia is the normal vaginal discharge after childbirth. Magnesium sulfate has no effect on these conditions.

Choice C reason: Magnesium sulfate does not shorten the duration of labor. It may actually prolong labor by relaxing the uterine muscles and inhibiting contractions. Magnesium sulfate is not used to induce or augment labor.

Choice D reason: Magnesium sulfate is used to prevent and treat convulsions in women with preeclampsia and eclampsia. Convulsions are a life-threatening complication of severe hypertension during pregnancy. Magnesium sulfate acts as a central nervous system depressant and anticonvulsant. It reduces the risk of seizures and lowers blood pressure.
