When teaching a prenatal class, the nurse realizes that some of the material must be reviewed when one of the dads says that many sexually transmitted infections are transmissible during delivery. The mother might need a cesarean section at the time of delivery to avoid transmission through breastfeeding. Which of the following statements is true?

Choice A rationale

Explaining that the newborn is no longer in pain may not facilitate grieving, as it does not acknowledge the emotional connection and grief the parents are experiencing.

Choice B rationale

Sharing the nurse's own experiences and feelings may shift the focus away from the client's emotions, potentially hindering their grieving process.

Choice C rationale

Avoiding calling the newborn by their name can create a sense of detachment and may prevent the client from fully processing their grief.

Choice D rationale

Allowing the client to hold or be with their newborn provides a tangible connection, facilitating the grieving process and helping them come to terms with their loss.

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.
