Answer 1

The nurse should consider teratogenic effects when caring for:

A 29 year old client recovering prenatal care in her first trimester of pregnancy

A 37 year old female client who is taking fertility drugs.

What is a teratogen?

Any substance that exposes a fetus to an abnormality while the mother is pregnant is considered a teratogen. Teratogens are typically identified following an increase in the prevalence of a specific birth abnormality.

A teratogen is a chemical that can harm a growing fetus by causing abnormalities or birth defects. Some pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, tobacco, chemicals, alcohol, some diseases, and in some situations, unmanaged health issues in the expectant parent are examples of common teratogens.

This should be considered for the clients illustrated above.
