What should a nurse recommend to a pregnant client taking the herb feverfew for migraine headaches?

  1. Continue taking the herb

  2. Consult a herbalist for advice

  3. Stop taking the herb

  4. Switch to another herbal remedy

The correct answer is: Stop taking the herb

Pregnant clients should avoid taking the herb feverfew for migraine headaches as it can potentially induce uterine contractions and increase the risk of miscarriage. The safest recommendation for a pregnant client taking feverfew is to stop taking the herb to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby. Consulting a healthcare provider before making any decisions regarding herbal supplements is always recommended to ensure the well-being of both the pregnant client and the unborn child.
