Checking the pregnancy risk category of the drug would provide information on the potential teratogenic effects and help address the client's concern. It's important for healthcare providers to consider the risks and benefits of any medication prescribed during pregnancy, and to provide information to clients to make informed decisions. Option B is assuming the client is pregnant, which may not be the case, and option C is dismissive of the client's concerns. Option D is not realistic, as many pregnant clients require medications for their health and well-being.
