  She constantly complains of feeling tired, and her vomiting is disgusting. What is a priority for the nurse to do at this point? 1. Ask the client what time of the day her fatigue is more common.
  2. Recommend that the woman have a pregnancy test done as soon as possible.
  3. Continue the interview of the client in private.
  4. Give the woman suggestions on ways to decrease the vomiting.

Question 2

  1. Use a urine specimen just before going to bed at night.
  2. Drink a lot of fluids and wait at least 4 hours before voiding and taking a specimen.

Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 3. The nurse should suspect that the client is in an abusive relationship. The priority is for the nurse to get the client away from the boyfriend and continue the interview.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Using a urine specimen just before going to bed at night is not the correct instruction.
Rationale 2: Drinking a lot of fluids and waiting at least 4 hours before voiding is not necessary, and is not the correct instruction.
Rationale 3: This information is not correct; diabetes does not affect the pregnancy test results.
Rationale 4: The patient should always use the first voided specimen in the morning, as it is more concentrated.
