NU309 Chapter 13 Questions With Complete SolutionsA client reports prolonged nausea, vomiting every morning for
the past week, and no appetite. The pregnancy test comes back
positive. What recommendation should the nurse give this
client? Select all that apply.
A. Take small amounts of liquids between meals, not with them.
B. Eat a saltine cracker before getting out of bed in the morning.
C. Delay eating breakfast until the nausea and vomiting has
passed.
D. Eat a low-fat diet and eliminate all caffeine.
E. Eat a high-protein, low-carb snack during the night. Correct
Answers A. Take small amounts of liquids between meals, not
with them.
B. Eat a saltine cracker before getting out of bed in the morning.
C. Delay eating breakfast until the nausea and vomiting has
passed.
(Eating a saltine cracker before getting out of bed, delaying
breakfast, and taking small amount of liquids between meals are
all appropriate interventions to cope with morning sickness.
Morning sickness is related to hormone levels. The fat, protein,
or carbohydrate content of the diet is not the causative factor.)
A client who is 28 weeks' pregnant asks the nurse if it is safe to
use mineral oil to relieve constipation. What is the best response
by the nurse?
A. "No, mineral oil may interfere with the absorption of fat-
soluble vitamins from your diet."
B. "No, mineral oil may initiate premature labor and birth."
"C. Yes, mineral oil will enhance the absorption of water soluble
vitamins from the diet."
, D. "Yes, mineral oil may increase the bulk of the feces and
prevent constipation." Correct Answers A. "No, mineral oil
may interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins from
your diet."
(Mineral oil should be avoided because it interferes with the
absorption of fat soluble vitamins that are needed by the fetus. It
does not alter the absorption of water soluble vitamins, change
the bulk of the stool, or cause preterm labor.)
A client with hyperemesis gravidarum is admitted to the
obstetric unit. The client is placed on a crystalloid intravenous
infusion and clear liquid diet. The client asks what the choices

D. ginger ale and apple juice
E. cranberry juice and chicken broth
F. oatmeal and egg substitutes Correct Answers C. tea and

(A clear liquid diet consists of foods that are clear liquids at
room temperature or body temperature, such as ice pops, regular
or decaffeinated coffee and tea, gelatin desserts, broth,
carbonated beverages, and clear juices, such as apple and
cranberry juices. Milk, pasteurized eggs, egg substitutes, and
oatmeal are part of a full liquid diet.)
