The nurse is teaching parents about antepartum testing. Which statements should the nurse include?

Choice B rationale: Ceftriaxone does not commonly cause dark urine or a metallic taste. These side effects are typically associated with other antibiotics, like metronidazole. The nurse should provide accurate information about medication side effects to maintain client trust.

Choice C rationale: Azithromycin absorption is not significantly affected by calcium intake. Unlike tetracyclines, which bind with calcium and reduce efficacy, azithromycin’s pharmacokinetics remain stable, ensuring the medication effectively treats the infection.

Choice D rationale: Discussing options for notifying sexual partners is essential for preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections. It ensures that partners can seek testing and treatment, reducing the risk of re-infection and promoting overall community health.

Choice B rationale: Pre-eclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The client's urine protein is negative, and she is only presumptively pregnant at this stage, making pre-eclampsia unlikely.

Choice C rationale: The detection of Gonorrhea in the client's urine sample indicates an active infection. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause symptoms such as vaginal discharge, burning with urination, and increased urinary frequency, which the client is experiencing.

Choice D rationale: Pyelonephritis, a severe urinary tract infection, is indicated by the presence of many bacteria and positive nitrites in the urine, along with symptoms like fever and flank pain. The client’s urine test results and symptoms suggest pyelonephritis.
