Practice Question
After teaching a pregnant client about using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies, the nurse determines that the teaching was successful based on which client statement?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
“I need to talk with my provider before I try using any therapy."
Rationale:
🟡In pregnancy, safety data for many CAM products are limited, and some herbals/supplements have uterotonic, anticoagulant, or hepatotoxic effects.
🟡Drug–herb interactions (e.g., with anticoagulants, antihypertensives, antidiabetics) can alter efficacy or cause harm to the mother/fetus.
🟡“Natural” does not equal safe, and product quality/purity can vary due to limited regulation.
🟡Coordinating with the prenatal provider supports risk–benefit review, dose/formulation checks, and monitoring.
🟡Using one therapy at a time and documenting effects reduces risk and clarifies causality if adverse effects arise.
