Which comment by a client who is pregnant indicates a need for further teaching?
a. "I have been walking two miles every day for the last 3 years, and I plan to try to increase my walking during pregnancy."
b. "I never liked milk, but I have started adding more cheese and other dairy products to my diet instead."
c. "I used to douche once a week prior to pregnancy, but now I have stopped."
d. "My husband and I used to have wine every night for dinner; we only have it once a week now."
D
If a pregnant client states that she only has a drink once a week, further teaching is needed. Pregnant women should abstain for drinking alcohol. Alcohol may have a teratogenic effect on the fetus and contributes to fetal alcohol syndrome. Walking is an excellent activity for pregnancy. Eating more cheese and other dairy products indicates the client understands the importance of calcium in pregnancy. The client is correct in saying she has stopped douching.
