A nurse is collecting data from a client who is at 30 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of pyelonephritis?

Rationale:

A. Taking daily hot baths is not typically recommended as a fertility treatment and may even have adverse effects on sperm production.

B. While using a lubricant during intercourse may help with comfort, certain lubricants can interfere with sperm motility and should be used cautiously when trying to conceive.

C. Drinking herbal tea may have some health benefits, but there is limited evidence to support its effectiveness in improving fertility.

D. Maintaining a healthy weight is important for both men and women when trying to conceive, as being underweight or overweight can affect fertility and reproductive health.

Rationale:

A. "Your provider will schedule a chorionic villus sampling to determine the sex of your baby." Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a different prenatal test that involves taking a sample of chorionic villi for genetic testing, not determining the sex of the fetus.

B. "This procedure determines if your baby has genetic or congenital disorders."

Correct answer.

Amniocentesis is a prenatal test used to diagnose genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities, not to determine the sex of the fetus.

C. "We can schedule the procedure for later today if you'd like." Amniocentesis is not typically scheduled on the same day as requested. It requires prior preparation and scheduling.

D. "You cannot have an amniocentesis until you are at least 35 years of age." There's no age restriction for amniocentesis based solely on maternal age. It's typically recommended for women at higher risk for genetic conditions, regardless of age.
