Rationale 2:Glucocorticoids are used as antiemetics.
Rationale 3:Antipsychotics are used as antiemetics.
Rationale 4:Antihistamines are used as antiemetics.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1: A client who has a gastrostomy tube, if well maintained, should not be at risk for fluid loss.
Rationale 2: Diarrhea is a symptom, not a disease, of an underlying problem. It can be caused by medications, infections, chemicals, or inflammatory disorders. When prolonged or severe, especially in children, diarrhea can result in significant loss of body fluids that leads to acidbase or electrolyte disorders.
Rationale 3: Constipation would not cause acidbase imbalances.
Rationale 4: A 24-hour history of nausea and vomiting, especially in a young adult, would not be a significant risk for the client.
