Postmaturity syndrome.

Infection.

Macrosomia.

Maternal hypertension.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale

Postmaturity syndrome occurs in pregnancies that extend beyond 42 weeks, not in cases of premature labor.

Choice B rationale

Premature labor can increase the risk of neonatal infections due to the underdeveloped immune system of preterm infants.

Choice C rationale

Macrosomia refers to a large newborn, typically associated with prolonged pregnancies, not premature labor.

Choice D rationale

Maternal hypertension can lead to premature labor, but premature labor does not increase the risk of developing maternal hypertension.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Anemia in pregnancy requires increased iron intake to support hemoglobin production, essential for oxygen transport in the blood. Iron-rich foods, such as red meat and leafy greens, are recommended.

Choice B rationale

Decreasing protein intake is counterproductive for anemic pregnant clients. Protein is vital for overall health and fetal development, and adequate intake should be maintained.

Choice C rationale

Calcium-rich foods are important but do not directly address anemia. They support bone health, and while necessary, they do not substitute the need for increased iron in anemic clients.

Choice D rationale

Vitamin C intake should be increased alongside iron-rich foods as it enhances iron absorption. However, increasing vitamin C alone does not suffice to correct anemia without adequate iron intake.

A. It destroys Rh antibodies in newborns who are Rh positive. B. It damages Rh antibodies in mothers who are Rh negative. C. It stops the formation of Rh antibodies in newborns who are Rh positive. D. It prevents the formation of Rh antibodies in mothers who are Rh negative.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Rh (D) immunoglobulin does not destroy Rh antibodies in newborns; it prevents maternal immune response.

Choice B rationale

Rh (D) immunoglobulin does not damage Rh antibodies in Rh-negative mothers; it prevents antibody formation.

Choice C rationale

Rh (D) immunoglobulin does not stop Rh antibody formation in Rh-positive newborns but prevents it in Rh-negative mothers.

Choice D rationale

Rh (D) immunoglobulin prevents the formation of Rh antibodies in Rh-negative mothers, reducing the risk of hemolytic disease in future pregnancies.
