Question

A nurse in an antepartum clinic is assessing a client who is at 32 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

A)Fundal height 34 cm
B)Report of decreased fetal movement
C)Report of occasional ankle swelling
D)BP 110/80 mm Hg

Answer 1

The nurse should report the client’s report of decreased fetal movement to the provider.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should report the client’s report of decreased fetal movement to the provider. Decreased fetal movement can be a sign of fetal distress or other complications and should be assessed further to ensure the well-being of the fetus. The other findings listed are within the normal range for a client at 32 weeks of gestation: fundal height of 34 cm is consistent with the gestational age, occasional ankle swelling is common in pregnancy, and a blood pressure of 110/80 mm Hg is within the normal range.
