True or False: It is acceptable to administer N2O to pregnant patients under any circumstances.

The assertion that it is acceptable to administer nitrous oxide (N2O) to pregnant patients under any circumstances is false. While nitrous oxide may be used in some instances for analgesia during labor, there are important considerations regarding its safety. Research indicates that exposure to nitrous oxide during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester, may be associated with potential risks to fetal development.

Due to these concerns, healthcare professionals exercise caution and typically avoid the use of nitrous oxide in pregnant patients unless absolutely necessary and with full consideration of the patient's health and the potential risks involved. Therefore, while nitrous oxide can be administered in specific situations during labor, blanket acceptance for all circumstances is not warranted, making the correct response false.
