A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has type 1 diabetes and is planning to become pregnant. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

"Your baby could be very large if you don't control your blood sugar level."

"Your baby is at an increased risk for having high blood sugar levels after delivery."

"You can expect to decrease your insulin dosage during the second and third trimesters.

"You will have an increased risk for developing ketoacidosis during the first trimester."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

Choice A rationale:

Poorly controlled blood sugar levels can lead to fetal overgrowth (macrosomia), which increases the risk of a large baby during delivery.

Choice B rationale:

High blood sugar levels after delivery are not specific to babies born to mothers with type 1 diabetes.

Choice C rationale:

Insulin dosage requirements often increase during the second and third trimesters due to insulin resistance, not decrease.

Choice D rationale:

The risk of ketoacidosis is not typically increased in the first trimester; rather, the focus is on controlling blood sugar levels to minimize risks to the developing fetus.

Explanation

Choice A rationale: This is incorrect because at about one hour after child birth the fundus should be around the belly button (where it was at 20 weeks of gestation).

Choice B rationale: This is incorrect because at about one hour after child birth the fundus should be around the belly button (where it was at 20 weeks of gestation). It then decreases steadily at approximately 1 cm every 24 hours.

Choice C rationale: One-week post-partum, the fundal height should be about 7 cm below the umbilicus (belly button). This means that the uterus is still larger than normal, but it is contracting and healing. The fundal height may vary depending on factors such as the size and position of the baby, the amount of amniotic fluid, and the mother's body type.
