Question

A client at 36 weeks gestation is admitted with thrombophlebitis. The client is on strict bed rest, vital signs every 4 hours, fetal heart tones every 4 hours, and an intravenous heparin drip. The client is concerned about the effect the drug might have on her baby. She states, "If it makes my blood thinner, then won't it make my baby's blood change?" Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate? "The heparin molecule is too large to get to the baby, so no damage will occur." "This drug can't possibly change your baby's blood." "Your health care provider can answer this question. Wait until tomorrow and ask the care provider then." "Heparin doesn't cross the placenta, so it can't get into the baby's blood system."
