A nurse is discussing fertility treatment options with a client and their partner. Which of the following nonpharmacological treatments should the nurse suggest?

Rationale:

A. Bathing the baby immediately after a feeding is not recommended, as it may cause discomfort or spit-up due to movement and manipulation of the baby's body. It's best to wait until the baby is settled and not hungry.

B. Putting a soft mattress in the baby's crib increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Firm mattresses are recommended to reduce the risk of suffocation.

C. Washing the baby's face with plain water is a safe and appropriate instruction. Using plain water helps prevent irritation or allergic reactions that may occur with soaps or other cleansing agents.

D. Placing a bumper pad in the baby's crib is not recommended due to the risk of suffocation and strangulation. Bumper pads can also increase the risk of SIDS.

Rationale:

A. Back pain following intercourse at 36 weeks of gestation may be common and is not typically indicative of an urgent issue.

B. Severe vomiting in early pregnancy could indicate hyperemesis gravidarum, which may require immediate assessment and intervention to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

C. Frequent urination at 10 weeks of gestation is common due to hormonal changes and increased pressure on the bladder from the growing uterus, but it does not typically require immediate assessment unless accompanied by other concerning symptoms.

D. Periodic tingling of the fingers at 24 weeks of gestation could be due to carpal tunnel syndrome, which is common in pregnancy but does not usually require urgent assessment unless severe or accompanied by other symptoms.
