Answer to Question 1

1. Flour, milk, and milk products

Rationale:
Flour, milk, and milk products have high calcium levels and, therefore, are recommended to be reduced to decrease the risk of further episodes of calcium-containing calculi. Organ meats, sardines, and seafood, tomatoes, fruits, and nuts, and chicken, beef, and ham products are not high in calcium and do not need to be restricted for this client.

Answer to Question 2

3. My urine may become darker and smaller in amount each day..

Rationale:
Oliguria is a complication of preeclampsia caused by renal involvement and is a sign that the condition is worsening. It is not an expected outcome and should be reported to the physician. Headache and blurred vision or other visual disturbances are an indication of worsening preeclampsia, and should be reported to the physician. Left lateral position maximizes uterine and renal blood flow, and therefore is the optimal position for a client with preeclampsia. Epigastric pain is an indication of liver enlargement, a symptom of worsening preeclampsia, and should be reported to the physician.
