Passage / Scenario
The nurse implements a teaching plan for a pregnant client who is newly diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus.Which statement made by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C because the statement "I would avoid exercise because of the negative effects on insulin production" is incorrect and indicates a need for further teaching. Exercise can actually improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels in diabetes. Therefore, the client needs to be educated on the benefits of exercise and how it can positively impact their condition. Choices A, B, and D are all correct statements that reflect good self-care practices for managing diabetes.
