During a prenatal visit, how often should a nurse expect to see a client after the first trimester?

During the second and third trimesters, the standard practice for routine prenatal visits typically involves the client being seen every two weeks until about 28 weeks of gestation. After the 28-week mark, visits usually increase to once a week until delivery. This frequency allows healthcare providers to monitor the pregnancy closely, assess fetal development, and manage any potential complications that may arise.

While the other options suggest varying frequencies that do occur at other stages of pregnancy, they do not correspond to the recommended visit schedule after the first trimester. For instance, monthly visits are common during the first trimester, and visits becoming less frequent, such as every three months, wouldn't provide the necessary monitoring as the pregnancy progresses towards delivery. Therefore, expecting to see a client every two weeks after the first trimester aligns perfectly with the standard prenatal care guidelines.
