The patient in her first trimester of pregnancy is experiencing nausea. To promote self-care, the nurse should help the pregnant patient understand that the nausea might be relieved by:
 
  1. Eating spicy foods.
  2. Not eating until two hours after rising.
  3. Eating small, frequent meals.
  4. Avoiding carbonated beverages.

Question 2

A patient who is at 10 weeks' gestation tells her nurse, I'm making too much saliva, and I spit on people every time I talk What's wrong with me? How should the nurse respond?
 
  1. Let's schedule you for a doctor's appointment, because excessive salivation can signal a complication of pregnancy.
  2. That's called ptyalism, and it's usually caused by increased salt intake during the second trimester.
  3. You should avoid astringent mouthwashes and chewing gum.
  4. Excess salivation commonly occurs during the first trimester, although the cause is unknown.
