A school nurse is providing teaching to an adolescent about levonorgestrel contraception. Which of the following information should the nurse Include in the teaching?

The correct answer is D.

A. Maintain the client NPO throughout the procedure: It is not necessary to maintain the client NPO (nothing by mouth) for a nonstress test. The test primarily involves monitoring fetal heart rate in response to the baby's movements and does not require fasting.

B. Place the client in a supine position: Placing the client in a left lateral position is often preferred for NST to optimize uterine blood flow and fetal oxygenation. The supine position can compromise blood flow to the uterus and is generally avoided, especially in later pregnancy.

C. Instruct the client to massage the abdomen to stimulate fetal movement: While the goal of the NST is to monitor fetal movements, instructing the client to actively stimulate fetal movement through abdominal massage is not a standard part of the procedure. Fetal movements should occur naturally.

D. Instruct the client to press the provided button each time fetal movement is detected: This is the correct action. During a nonstress test, the client is typically provided with a button to press whenever she feels fetal movement. This helps correlate fetal movements with changes in the fetal heart rate on the monitor, providing valuable information about the baby's well-being.

The correct answer is A. Emotional lability.

A. Emotional lability: Emotional lability refers to rapid and unpredictable changes in mood, with intense emotions shifting quickly from one extreme to another. It is a common aspect of the emotional adaptation to pregnancy and is often influenced by hormonal changes.

B. Focusing phase: The focusing phase is a concept related to the process of adapting to pregnancy. It involves the pregnant individual focusing on the reality of the pregnancy and incorporating the changes into their self-concept. While mood changes may occur during this phase, the client's statement more specifically reflects emotional lability.

C. Cognitive restructuring: Cognitive restructuring involves changing thought patterns to modify emotional responses. The client's statement does not necessarily indicate a deliberate process of changing thought patterns but rather describes the emotional swings often associated with pregnancy.

D. Couvade syndrome: Couvade syndrome refers to a phenomenon where a partner experiences symptoms that mimic pregnancy symptoms. It is not applicable in this context as the client is describing her own emotional experiences related to pregnancy.
