Answer 1

Chronic backache

The nurse should provide preventive measures for chronic backache as a consequence of lordosis when caring for this client. Chloasma is characterized by darkened areas on the face, particularly over the nose and cheeks. It is also known as the mark of pregnancy. Chloasma is not caused by lordosis. Diastasis occurs as the pregnancy progresses when the rectus muscle stretches to the point that it separates. It is not caused by lordosis. Edema in lower extremities occurs due to an impeded venous return caused by pressure of growing fetus on pelvic and femoral areas. It is not caused by lordosis.
