Or so she thought, until an ultrasound scan detected twins. Her prepregnancy weight was 142 pounds (64.5 kg) and her BMI. Señora Mendez’s weight-gain progress has been poor due to nausea and vomiting experienced in the first half of pregnancy. Otherwise, Sra. Mendez was experiencing a normal pregnancy for women expecting twins. Concerns about her weight-gain progress and the nutritional needs of women with twin gestation prompted her certified–nurse midwife to prescribe a prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement and to refer her to a registered dietitian/certified diabetes educator. A nutritional assessment completed during week 25 of pregnancy identified that Sra. Mendez had gained 14 pounds since conception, and that her typical dietary intake excluded food sources of EPA and DHA. Her plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was below 24 nmol/L, indicating low vitamin D status. No other…arrow_forward

- As the nurse working on a postpartum unit, you are caring for John and Janah, who have just become parents of a 7 lb and 2 oz baby boy. As you prepare them for discharge, you notice that they seem overwhelmed with much of the information being provided. Janah says, “ Maybe my breasts are too small and the baby can’t get enough milk.” She added, “I am hoping that if I breastfeed, I won’t have to worry about birth control for a while.” GUIDE QUESTIONS: The couple needs health teaching in a number of areas. Which subject would you begin with? Why? Explain how breastfeeding can prevent pregnancy? How can you best explain this to the couple?arrow_forwardThe following clinical scenario contains (4) choose-between-two options: A 28-year-old mother arrives to your OB/GYN clinic to follow-up on her early trimester pregnancy. She has a history of one full term pregnancy, which resulted in the delivery of a boy born with a neural tube defect known as meningocele. Prior to her first pregnancy, the patient had a personal history of anorexia. Given this clinical picture, the patient’s first son likely had a condition known as (SCID / spina bifida). This condition likely resulted from a (folate / purine) deficiency in the patient’s diet. One clinical finding that can confirm your diagnosis is if the patient displays (megaloblastic anemia / Heinz bodies). To decrease the likelihood that her second child develops a similar condition, you should prescribe this patient a (pyrimidine replacement therapy / folate supplement).arrow_forwardAnswer all questions completely:arrow_forward
