The nurse is completing an assessment for a prenatal visit. Which client statement indicates that further teaching is necessary?
1. "Now that I've felt fetal movement, I should feel movement regularly."
2. "Because I'm in my third trimester, I should return to the clinic in a month."
3. "Alcohol is possibly harmful to my baby, even at the end of my pregnancy."
4. "Before I take any over-the-counter medications, I should contact my doctor."

Explanation:
1. This is a true statement. Once fetal movement is perceived, it should be felt regularly. Initially, this might not be every day, but in the third trimester, fetal movement should be noticeable several times per day.
2. This statement is incorrect because prenatal visits during the third trimester are every 2 weeks from 26 to 36 weeks, and every week from 36 weeks to delivery.
3. This is a true statement. Alcohol should be avoided throughout pregnancy and lactation.
4. This is a true statement. Regardless of the gestational age, over-the-counter medications can have deleterious effects on the mother or baby; thus, it is important for a pregnant woman to consult her healthcare provider prior to taking any over-the-counter medications throughout the pregnancy.
