Pregnancy Categories for Drugs
These drug categories might also be included on the NCLEX exam. It is important for the nurse to know which categories the pregnant client should avoid:
<![if !vml]>
<![endif]> Category D: Risk to fetus exists, but the benefits of the medication could outweigh the probable risks.

<![if !vml]>
<![endif]> Category X: Avoid use in pregnancy or in those who may become pregnant. Potential risks to the fetus outweigh the potential benefits.
