Which question should the nurse include when conducting a review of systems with a patient during the first prenatal visit?
A) "Do you have a peptic ulcer?"
B) "Have you ever had a heart attack?"
C) "Have you had any neurologic diseases?"
D) "Have you had any urinary tract infections?"
D
Feedback:
Urinary tract infections are associated with preterm birth. If the patient has a history of this type of infection, then interventions can be directed to help the patient avoid a urinary tract infection while pregnant. Although a part of the review of systems, asking about peptic ulcers, heart attacks, and neurologic diseases may not have as significant an impact on the developing fetus as having urinary tract infections.
