A nurse is caring for a client who is at 14 weeks of gestation. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as the client being emotionally prepared for pregnancy?

A. Completely undress the toddler. Toddlers may feel vulnerable when fully undressed. It is best to remove clothing gradually, assessing one area at a time, to promote comfort and reduce anxiety.
B. Allow the toddler to handle the equipment. Letting the toddler touch and explore medical equipment, such as a stethoscope or otoscope, helps reduce fear and increases cooperation during the examination. This approach fosters a sense of control and familiarity.
C. Thoroughly explain each procedure to the toddler. Toddlers have limited understanding and attention spans. Simple, short explanations and distraction techniques are more effective in easing anxiety than detailed explanations.
D. Start the examination with routine immunizations. Painful procedures, such as vaccinations, should be saved for the end of the visit to prevent distress and resistance that could interfere with the rest of the examination.

A. "I will stop what I am doing and lie down." Stopping activity and resting helps reduce myocardial oxygen demand, which can relieve stable angina. Lying down also minimizes strain on the heart and decreases the risk of injury if the client becomes lightheaded.
B. "I will call the provider after taking one dose of nitroglycerin." Clients with stable angina should take one dose of sublingual nitroglycerin and wait five minutes. If pain persists after three doses taken five minutes apart, emergency medical services should be contacted instead of waiting to call the provider.
C. "I will hold my breath and bear down." The Valsalva maneuver can increase vagal tone, leading to bradycardia and decreased cardiac output, which may worsen angina rather than relieve it. This is not an appropriate response to chest pain.
D. "I will take two 325 milligram aspirin tablets at the same time." While aspirin is beneficial for preventing platelet aggregation, the usual recommended dose for acute chest pain is a single 160–325 mg tablet chewed immediately. Taking two full-dose aspirin tablets is unnecessary and may increase the risk of bleeding.
