Maternity NCLEX Questions

Home / Nursing & Allied Health Certifications / NCLEX PN / Maternity

Question 1 of 5.

The nurse is teaching the client who is wishing to travel by airplane during the first 36 weeks of her pregnancy. Which is the primary risk of air travel for this client that the nurse should address?

A. Risk of preterm labor

B. Deep vein thrombosis

C. Spontaneous abortion

D. Nausea and vomiting

Explanation: The primary risk with air travel during pregnancy is DVT. Pregnancy increases the risk of blood coagulation, and prolonged sitting produces venous stasis.
