  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.

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.
