Pregnant woman during the third trimesterQuestions Nadine is an unmarried, 20-year-old nulliparous woman beginning her third trimester. The father of the baby is actively involved in the pregnancy and plans to help Nadine during labor and with the parenting of their child.
1. The nurse practitioner assesses Nadine's current health status. Outline the components of the health history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and fetal assessment.
2. Nadine asks the nurse if there is anything that she can do to determine if her baby is "doing okay or is having problems." How should the nurse respond?
3. While the nurse examines her abdomen, Nadine tells the nurse that she occasionally experiences burning in her chest area after meals. How should the nurse respond?
4. Nadine asks the nurse if she and her partner should attend childbirth classes, especially since they are not married. "We have been watching videos and reading books about labor and what to do. We have even been practicing some of the techniques recommended." State the nursing diagnosis reflective of Nadine's comment, one expected outcome, and appropriate nursing measures.
5. Why would it be helpful for Nadine and her partner to begin to get things ready for the baby, including deciding about a feeding method and finding a health care provider for the baby? How can the nurse assist in this process?
6. When Nadine is at 32 weeks of gestation she complains of having difficulty sleeping even though she is tired. She asks for a prescription for a sleeping pill. How should the nurse respond to Nadine's request?
