A 34-week gestation multigravida comes to the clinic for her bimonthly appointment. Which assessment finding should the nurse report to the healthcare provider (HCP)?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Fundal height of 30 cm is below the expected range (32-36 cm) for 34 weeks gestation, suggesting possible intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or oligohydramnios, which requires further evaluation. Mild edema is common, weight gain is normal, and a fetal heart rate of 110 bpm is within the acceptable range.
