A nurse is reinforcing teaching to the parents of an infant about the correct use of infant car seats. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Be honest with the client about their prognosis: Honesty is essential for building trust but does not alone promote autonomy. Autonomy specifically involves allowing the client to make informed decisions about their own care based on truthful information.

B. Include the client's input when setting treatment goals: Including the client’s input directly supports their autonomy by allowing them to actively participate in decisions about their care, treatments, and end-of-life goals, ensuring their personal values and wishes are respected.

C. Keep an agreement made with the client to administer an antiemetic medication: Honoring agreements builds trust and supports ethical practice but focuses more on fidelity than directly on promoting autonomy, which centers on the client’s decision-making role.

D. Administer pain medication to the client on a routine schedule: Providing pain management is important for comfort but does not by itself promote autonomy unless it involves client participation in deciding how and when the medication is administered.

A. Leg cramps: Leg cramps are a common and expected discomfort during the later stages of pregnancy. They usually result from changes in circulation, pressure from the growing uterus, or altered calcium and magnesium levels.

B. Blurred vision: Blurred vision is a concerning finding in pregnancy as it can be a sign of preeclampsia, a serious hypertensive disorder that poses risks to both the mother and fetus. It requires immediate evaluation by the provider.

C. Urinary frequency: Urinary frequency is a common symptom in late pregnancy due to the pressure of the enlarging uterus on the bladder. It is typically expected unless accompanied by signs of infection.

D. Gingivitis: Gingivitis can occur during pregnancy due to hormonal changes that affect gum tissue. While it should be managed with good oral hygiene, it is not an urgent concern requiring immediate reporting.
