A nurse in a prenatal clinic is teaching a client who is in her second trimester and has a new diagnosis of gestational diabetes. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Choice A reason: Assisting the client with transferring to the gynecology unit is not the first action that the nurse should take, as it does not address the client's emotional needs or preferences. The nurse should first assess the client's coping and grieving process, and provide support and comfort.

Choice B reason: Offering the mother private time with the newborn is the first action that the nurse should take, as it can facilitate the bonding and closure process, and help the client express her feelings and emotions. The nurse should respect the client's wishes and cultural beliefs regarding the viewing and holding of the stillborn infant, and provide a quiet and private environment.

Choice C reason: Administering alprazolam 0.5 mg PO is not the first action that the nurse should take, as it is a pharmacological intervention that requires a prescription and an assessment of the client's condition and history. The nurse should first use nonpharmacological methods, such as active listening, therapeutic communication, and counseling, to help the client cope and manage her anxiety and grief.

Choice D reason: Contacting the health care facility's clergy is not the first action that the nurse should take, as it may not be appropriate or desired by the client. The nurse should first ask the client if she wants any spiritual or religious support, and respect her decision and beliefs.

Choice A reason: Irregular fetal heart rate is not an expected finding in a client with a hydatidiform mole, as it can indicate fetal arrhythmia, distress, or demise. A client with a hydatidiform mole may have no fetal heart tones, as the pregnancy is nonviable and consists of abnormal trophoblastic tissue.

Choice B reason: Rapid decline in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels is not an expected finding in a client with a hydatidiform mole, as it can indicate a normal or abnormal termination of pregnancy. A client with a hydatidiform mole may have markedly elevated hCG levels, as the trophoblastic tissue secretes excessive amounts of the hormone.

Choice C reason: Profuse, clear vaginal discharge is not an expected finding in a client with a hydatidiform mole, as it can indicate a normal or abnormal cervical mucus production. A client with a hydatidiform mole may have vaginal bleeding, which is often dark brown or bright red, and may contain grape-like vesicles.

Choice D reason: Excessive uterine enlargement is an expected finding in a client with a hydatidiform mole, as it reflects the rapid growth of the trophoblastic tissue and the accumulation of fluid-filled vesicles. A client with a hydatidiform mole may have a uterus that is larger than expected for the gestational age, and may experience uterine cramping or pain.
