Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: The client who has had a hemigastrectomy is at risk for dumping syndrome. This client should be placed on a diet that is high in protein, moderate in fat, and high in calories. The client should avoid drinking liquids with meals. Frequent small meals are encouraged, and the client should avoid concentrated sweets.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: The cord should be kept clean and dry to decrease bacterial growth. The diaper should be folded below the cord to keep urine away from the cord. The cord should be cleaned two or three times a day using alcohol or other prescribed solution. Cord care is required until the cord dries up and falls off, usually between 7 and 14 days postpartum.
