Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Because of the potential difficulty with absorbing nutrients, the pregnant patient with inflammatory bowel disease needs careful monitoring for weight gain during pregnancy. Anti-inflammatory medication may be continued during pregnancy without fetal injury. The patient does not need a cesarean birth for this health problem. Foods and fluids should not be restricted because the patient has difficulty absorbing nutrients anyway.
Gamma globulin injections are not indicated for this disorder
