The nurse working in an obstetrician's office determines that which client is at high risk for prenatal loss? (Select all that apply)
1. The woman recovering from a gastrointestinal virus
2. The woman who had a healthy baby six months ago resulting from a healthy pregnancy
3. The woman who lives in an urban area in a high-rise apartment
4. The unmarried 14-year-old woman living in a rural area
5. The woman who drinks one cup of coffee every morning
2. The woman who had a healthy baby six months ago resulting from a healthy pregnancy
4. The unmarried 14-year-old woman living in a rural area
Rationale:
The woman who delivered a baby only six months ago is at higher risk because her body has not had time to fully recover from the previous birth. Adolescents under age 15 are at higher risk, and those living in rural areas where there may be limited access to healthcare providers also face greater challenges. A GI virus will not negatively impact the pregnancy, and those in urban areas have better access to healthcare. One cup of coffee is not excessive intake of caffeine.
