Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 5
Strategies to improve nutrition in the client experiencing nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy include using herbs such as peppermint, administering prescribed anti-emetics, ensuring an adequate intake of fluids, and ingesting foods at room temperature. Foods and fluids of extreme temperatures such as hot beverages and ice water should be avoided by the patient with nausea and vomiting.

Answer to Question 2

3, 4
Periumbilical blood and fetoscopy with fetal skin biopsy both require gestation longer than 18 weeks. Placental biopsy requires gestation longer than 12 weeks. Early amniocentesis requires that gestation be before 15 weeks. Amniocentesis requires that gestation be at 15 to 20 weeks, and chorionic villus sampling requires gestation at 10 to 12 weeks.
