The nurse has received a phone call from a 29-year-old married patient pregnant with her first child. The patient is at 10 weeks' gestation. Which class would be most appropriate for this patient to attend at this point in her pregnancy?
1. Breastfeeding class
2. Birthing classes
3. Early pregnancy class
4. Adolescent pregnancy class
3
Rationale 1: Breastfeeding class would be better late in the third trimester.
Rationale 2: Birthing classes are best in the third trimester.
Rationale 3: Patients learn most from prenatal classes when they are offered in chronologic order, so that the class content correlates with what they are experiencing. This patient is in her first trimester; early pregnancy classes discussing fetal development are the best option at this time.
Rationale 4: This patient is not an adolescent; therefore, adolescent pregnancy classes are not appropriate for this patient.
