The nurse admits a client in the first trimester of pregnancy, reporting daily vomiting, aversion to many odors, and changes in food likes and dislikes. The client asks what she can do to reduce morning sickness.
 
  The nurse suggests: (Select all that apply.) Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Avoid dairy products and fruit juices.
  2. Eat dry toast or crackers in the morning.
  3. Eat no more than three times a day.
  4. Limit intake of fluids upon awakening.
  5. Foods such as fried shrimp can help to provide adequate calorie intake.

Question 2

The nurse working on an acute pediatric unit is caring for an 8-year-old child who is profoundly mentally retarded with significant developmental delays and cerebral palsy that limits the child to a wheelchair.
 
  The child was admitted for a significant scoliosis, and has had surgery to fuse the spine, with insertion of rods on both sides of the spinal column. In addition to preventing infection and pain management, the nurse's priority of care is: 1. Careful movement and repositioning of the client.
  2. Supporting family coping measures.
  3. Providing respite care for the primary caregiver.
  4. Encouraging ambulation as soon as possible.

Answer to Question 1

2,4
Rationale: Morning sickness can best be treated by reducing intake of fluids for the first hour upon awakening, eating dry toast or crackers, and avoiding spicy or fried foods. Five small meals a day will be tolerated better than three large meals.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Because of the rod placement, this child must be moved and repositioned carefully to avoid strain on the rods. Insufficient information is available about the family's coping mechanism to know if it is healthy or dysfunctional. Admission to the hospital is respite care for the family. This child is unable to ambulate, and is wheelchair-bound.
