NCLEX PN Exam Practice Test Practice Question
All of the following women are seen in the physician's office. Which is at greatest risk for preterm labor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C represents the highest risk for preterm labor due to the physiological demands of carrying multiples, which can lead to increased uterine distension and complications.
Option A, a primigravida who has gained 30 lb, does not inherently indicate a risk for preterm labor; weight gain can vary widely without direct correlation to labor timing.
Option B, a 35-year-old carrying a small baby, may suggest a lower risk as smaller fetal size can be associated with longer gestation.
Option D, a 40-year-old with four children, may have experience in childbirth, which can reduce the risk of preterm labor compared to a younger mother with multiples.
