The nurse provides a wellness program to a group of pregnant adolescents at risk for substance abuse. Which participant statement indicates that teaching has been effective?
A) "Drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana can harm my baby."
B) "I need to take good care of myself by participating in vigorous exercise."
C) "My anemia and eating mostly fast food are not important."
D) "I should seek prenatal care at some point in the pregnancy."
Answer: A
Pregnant adolescents are at great risk for complications such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, anemia, preterm birth, low-birth-weight infants, and fetal harm from cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, or the use of street drugs. Early and regular prenatal care is the best intervention to prevent complications or to detect them early, to minimize the harm to both the teen and her fetus. Pregnant adolescents are at great risk for complications such as anemia. Vigorous exercise would not necessarily promote a healthy pregnancy and does not indicate an understanding of the increased risk for an adolescent who is at risk for substance abuse.
