In a pregnant client who's gravida IV, para 0, aborta III, which factor could indicate the suspicion of gestational diabetes?

The identification of a history of fetal demise as a factor that could indicate suspicion of gestational diabetes is important in the management of a pregnant client. This history can suggest underlying issues related to metabolic conditions, including gestational diabetes, which may increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes can lead to larger-than-normal babies, which can complicate delivery and potentially result in fetal distress or even demise if not properly managed.

In contrast, current age, height, and weight are important metrics, but they do not specifically correlate with the increased risk for gestational diabetes in the same way. While advancing maternal age, obesity, and family history are recognized risk factors for gestational diabetes, in this scenario, the history of fetal demise stands out as a significant prior event that raises concern for potential complications, including metabolic disorders such as gestational diabetes that may have been a contributing factor in previous pregnancies.
