Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The care plan should include Risk for Imbalanced Fluid Volume for the client receiving an antiemetic due to the possible fluid losses associated with vomiting as well as the possible decrease in fluid intake. Disturbed sensory perception, impaired physical mobility, and ineffective tissue perfusion are not applicable.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Ginger should be used with caution in clients with hypertension or gallstones and during pregnancy or lactation. Antiemetic prochlorperazine is contraindicated in clients with blood dyscrasia, Parkinson's disease, and severe liver disease.
