Correct Answer is A

Explanation

This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching because babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at risk for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) after birth due to high insulin levels.

Choice B is wrong because a client who has GDM should check their blood glucose more frequently than once every 8 hours. The American Diabetes Association recommends checking blood glucose levels before meals and one hour after the start of each meal.

Choice C is wrong because a baby born to a mother with GDM is at risk for being overweight (macrosomia) at birth, not underweight. This can lead to complications such as shoulder dystocia, birth trauma, and cesarean delivery.

Choice D is wrong because a client who has GDM should ensure that about 15 to 20 percent of their daily calories come from protein sources, not 5 percent. Protein helps regulate blood glucose levels and supports fetal growth.

A. Platelet count 120,000/mm². B. WBC count 9,800/mm³. C. Hgb 13 mg/dL. D. Hct 42%.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

The nurse should notify the provider because this value is lower than the normal range of 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. A low platelet count can indicate a risk of bleeding or a condition such as thrombocytopenia or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Choice B is wrong because WBC count 9,800/mm³ is within the normal range of 4,500 to 11,000 cells per microliter of blood.

Choice C is wrong because Hgb 13 mg/dL is within the normal range of 12 to 16 mg/dL for females and 14 to 18 mg/dL for males.

Choice D is wrong because Hct 42% is within the normal range of 37% to 47% for females and 42% to 52% for males.
