The drug of choice for treatment of gonorrhea is:

Choice A reason: Eating five small meals daily can help reduce heartburn in pregnancy by preventing overeating and reducing the pressure on the stomach from the growing uterus. It can also help maintain a steady blood glucose level and prevent nausea and vomiting.

Choice B reason: Lying down after each meal can worsen heartburn in pregnancy by allowing the stomach acid to reflux into the esophagus. It can also cause breathing difficulties and increase the risk of aspiration. The woman should avoid lying down for at least two hours after eating and elevate her head and chest when sleeping.

Choice C reason: Reducing the amount of fiber she consumes can cause constipation and hemorrhoids in pregnancy, which can increase the discomfort and pain. Fiber is important for maintaining a healthy digestive system and preventing gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. The woman should consume at least 25 grams of fiber per day from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and nuts.

Choice D reason: Substituting other calcium sources for milk in her diet can deprive the woman and the baby of essential nutrients, such as protein, vitamin D, and riboflavin. Milk is not a common cause of heartburn in pregnancy, unless the woman is lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy products. The woman should consume at least three servings of dairy products per day or take calcium supplements as prescribed.

Choice A reason: This is not a good intervention, as it may worsen the symptoms of faintness, dizziness, and agitation. Standing up can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension), which can reduce the blood flow to the brain and the fetus. This can cause lightheadedness, blurred vision, and loss of consciousness in the woman, as well as fetal distress or hypoxia.

Choice B reason: This is not a good intervention, as it may also worsen the symptoms of faintness, dizziness, and agitation. Lying supine can cause compression of the inferior vena cava (a large vein that returns blood to the heart) by the gravid uterus, which can reduce the cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped by the heart) and the blood pressure. This can cause nausea, sweating, and visual disturbances in the woman, as well as fetal distress or hypoxia.

Choice C reason: This is not a good intervention, as it may not improve the symptoms of faintness, dizziness, and agitation. Sitting down and holding the arm in a dependent position can lower the blood pressure in the arm, but not in the rest of the body. This can cause inaccurate readings of the blood pressure and delay the detection of hypotension or hypertension. This can also cause discomfort and pain in the arm due to impaired circulation.

Choice D reason: This is the best intervention, as it can relieve the symptoms of faintness, dizziness, and agitation by improving the blood flow to the brain and the fetus. Turning to the left side can reduce the pressure of the uterus on the inferior vena cava and increase the cardiac output and the blood pressure. This can also optimize the placental perfusion (the blood flow to the placenta) and the fetal oxygenation.
