A pregnant patient enjoys exercising at a local health spa once a week. Which patient comment indicates to the nurse that additional health teaching is needed?
A) "I'm learning to play table tennis.".
B) "I limit exercising to low-impact aerobics.".
C) "The gym gets hot and stuffy by midmorning.".
D) "Nothing feels nicer than a hot tub soak after exercise.".
D
Feedback:
Pregnant women should not soak for long periods in extremely hot water or hot tubs because heat exposure for a lengthy time could lead to hyperthermia in the fetus and birth defects, specifically esophageal atresia, omphalocele, and gastroschisis. Playing table tennis, performing low-impact aerobics, and the environment of the gym are not comments that indicate the need for additional teaching.
