What is the characteristic appearance of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) on ultrasound?

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.

Choice A rationale

Biologically, women are more susceptible to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to anatomical differences, such as a larger mucosal surface area, making this statement incorrect.

Choice B rationale

Many STIs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, can be asymptomatic. This means a person can have an STI without showing signs or symptoms, making routine screening important.

Choice C rationale

Not all STIs are curable. While bacterial STIs like syphilis and gonorrhea can be treated with antibiotics, viral STIs like herpes and HIV can only be managed, not cured.

Choice D rationale

Condoms significantly reduce the risk of acquiring STIs but do not eliminate it entirely. They protect against fluid transmission but not necessarily from skin-to-skin contact infections like HPV.
