A nurse is providing education to a client during the first prenatal visit. Which of the
following statement by the client should indicate to the nurse a need for clarification?
A. "I should drink about 2 liters of fluid each day."
B. "I should not drink alcoholic beverages during my pregnancy."
C. "I can have a moderate amount of caffeine daily."
D. "I should increase my calcium intake to 1,500 milligrams per day" ✅D.
The client should maintain a fluid intake of about 2 to 2.3 L of fluid per day to provide
adequate fluid for cells, blood, lymph, and amniotic fluid.
"I should not drink alcoholic beverages during my pregnancy."
Pregnancy is a contraindication for alcohol use because it can lead to birth defects,
delayed cognitive development, and behavioral problems.
"I can have a moderate amount of caffeine daily."
A daily allowance of 150 to 340 mg of caffeine is acceptable. Caffeine intake should not
exceed 340 mg because it can cause vasoconstriction, which can cause intrauterine
growth restriction or a miscarriage early in pregnancy.
"I should increase my calcium intake to 1,500 milligrams per day"
A woman's dietary reference intake (DRI) of calcium for pregnancy and lactation is the
same for a woman who is not pregnant. The DRI for a woman older than 19 years of
age is 1,000 mg/day, which should supply enough calcium for fetal bone and tooth
development and to maintain maternal bone mass.

asymptomatic in women. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend
evaluating, testing, and treating all of a client's sexual partners.

Control and Prevention recommend abstaining from sexual relations for 7 days after a

discharge, and enlarged lymph nodes in the groin.
