Question

A client in the first trimester of pregnancy arrives at a health care clinic and reports that she has been experiencing vaginal bleeding. A threatened abortion is suspected, and the nurse instructs the client regarding management of care. Which statement made by the client indicates a need for further instruction?

1. "I will watch for the evidence of the passage of tissue."
2. "I will maintain strict bed rest throughout the remainder of the pregnancy."
3. "I will count the number of perineal pads used on a daily basis and note the amount and color of blood on the pad."
4. "I will avoid sexual intercourse until the bleeding has stopped, and for 2 weeks following the last evidence of bleeding."

Answer 1

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 2 is the odd one out.

The reason is that during pregnancy, continuous exercise is important. Hence, strict bed rest is not required and the client therefore needs more education and enlightenment on this
