Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Instruct the woman to eat five to six small meals rather than three full meals per
day. Nausea is more intense when the stomach is empty.
B Fluids should be taken separately from meals. Fluids overstretch the stomach and
may precipitate vomiting.
C This will assist with the symptoms of morning sickness. It is also important for
the woman to arise slowly.
D Coffee and orange juice stimulate acid formation in the stomach. It is best to
suggest eating dry carbohydrates when rising in the morning.

Answer to Question 2

D
Fetal distress due to compression of the umbilical cord is a serious complication associated with oligohydramnios. Oligohydramnios is a deficiency of amniotic fluid. Preterm delivery caused by contractions from uterine pressure does not occur with oligohydramnios. Oligohydramnios decreases uterine volume.
