A nurse is providing teaching about family planning to a client who has a new prescription for a diaphragm. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A Reason:

Drinking the glucose solution 2 hours prior to the test is not standard for a 1-hour GTT. Instead, the glucose solution is usually consumed within a short timeframe, such as 5 minutes, and the blood is drawn 1 hour afterward.

Choice B Reason:

Limiting carbohydrate intake for 3 days prior to the test is not a requirement for a 1-hour GTT. However, it may be advised for a longer fasting period or a different type of glucose tolerance test.

Choice C Reason:

C. “A blood glucose of 130 to 140 is considered a positive screening result.”

In the 1-hour glucose tolerance test during pregnancy, a blood glucose level of135 mg/dL or higheris considered a positive screening result. If this threshold is met, further testing (such as the 3-hour glucose tolerance test) is recommended to confirm or rule out gestational diabetes.

.

Choice D Reason:

Fasting for 12 hours prior to the test is inappropriate. For a 1-hour GTT, the client is not typically required to fast.

A. Frank breech position

A. In a frank breech presentation, the baby's buttocks are the presenting part. When the nurse locates fetal heart tones above the client's umbilicus at midline during active labor, it is indicative of a breech presentation, and the frank breech position is one possibility.

B. In a cephalic presentation, which is the most common and ideal position for childbirth, the fetal head is the presenting part, and the fetal heart tones would typically be heard below the umbilicus.

C. In a posterior position, the back of the baby's head is against the mother's spine. Fetal heart tones in this position would be typically heard below the umbilicus.

D. In a transverse lie, the baby is positioned horizontally across the uterus. Fetal heart tones may be heard laterally in this position, not necessarily above the umbilicus at midline.
