Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, E
Vomiting during pregnancy is more common among primigravidas. Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy can occur at any time of the day. The percentage of women reporting vomiting during the first 16 weeks of gestation is relatively constant at about 40, decreasing to 20 from 17 to 20 weeks. Only 9 of women report vomiting after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Severe, persistent vomiting during pregnancy is known as hyperemesis gravidarum. Contrary to commonly held beliefs, vomiting is not more common in women who have experienced prior fetal losses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D
Positioning techniques that help block out the rapid peripheral movement assist young children who suffer from motion sickness. Over-the-counter products are available to medicate a young child. A health care provider should recommend dosages and evaluate other medications being currently given. Motion sickness is very real, and dismissing a patient's complaints is unprofessional. Benadryl is not effective for treating nausea or vomiting.
