Correct Answers:

Instruct the client to return for a 3-hr oral glucose tolerance test.

🔴 A 3-hr OGTT is the diagnostic test for gestational diabetes after an abnormal screen.

🔴 Early diagnosis helps prevent complications for both mother and baby.

🔴 Repeating the 1-hr test does not confirm or rule out the condition.

🔴 Home glucose checks are not sufficient for initial diagnosis.

Correct Answers:

Dry, cracked skin
Absent vernix
Long, hard nails

Rationale :

🟢 Dry, cracked skin results from prolonged pregnancy.

🟢 Hypotonia and excessive lanugo are not typical post-term findings.

🟢 These signs help confirm post-term gestation.
