Which purpose of placental functioning should the nurse include in prenatal education?

A. Parent was abused as a child: Individuals who were abused as children are at a higher risk of becoming perpetrators of abuse themselves. This cycle of abuse is often related to learned behaviors, trauma, and unresolved emotional issues from childhood.

B. Young age of parent: Young parents, especially teenagers, may face difficulties in coping with the responsibilities of raising a child, increasing the likelihood of stress and the potential for abusive behaviors. Their lack of maturity and experience can be risk factors for abuse.

C. Living in a single-family home: While living in a single-parent household can be challenging, it does not directly increase the risk of child abuse. Many single-parent households provide loving and supportive environments for children.

D. Low income, financial stress: Financial strain and low income can contribute to stress, which may increase the risk of child abuse. Lack of resources, unstable housing, and worries about basic needs can elevate tension in the home, potentially leading to abusive behaviors.

E. Being married: Marriage, in itself, is not a direct risk factor for child abuse. In fact children in stable, supportive marriages are less likely to experience abuse. It is the relationship dynamics and other stressors, not just marital status, that matter in child abuse risk.

A. Influenza vaccine: The influenza vaccine is safe and recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters. It helps protect both the mother and the unborn child from the flu, which can cause severe complications in pregnant women.

B. Varivax vaccine: The Varivax vaccine, which protects against chickenpox, is a live attenuated vaccine and should not be given during pregnancy due to potential risks to the fetus. If a woman has not had chickenpox, she should be vaccinated before becoming pregnant.

C. MMR vaccine: The MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, is a live attenuated vaccine and should not be given during pregnancy. It is recommended to wait until after pregnancy to receive this vaccine, as it can pose risks to the developing fetus.

D. Gardasil vaccine: The Gardasil vaccine, which protects against human papillomavirus (HPV), is not recommended during pregnancy. It is advised to delay vaccination until after pregnancy. The potential risks are not well established, so it is typically avoided.
