Question 1 pts


A home care nurse is instructing a client with hyperemesis gravidarum
about measures to ease the nausea and vomiting. The nurse tells the
client to:


Eat foods high in calories and fat

Correct! Eat carbohydrates such as cereals, rice, and pasta


Lie down for at least 20 minutes after meals


Consume primarily soups and liquids at mealtimes

Rationale: Low-fat foods and easily digested carbohydrates such
as fruit, breads, cereals, rice, and pasta provide important nutrients
and help prevent a low blood glucose level, which can cause
nausea. Soups and other liquids should be taken between meals
to avoid distending the stomach and triggering nausea. Sitting
upright after meals reduces gastric reflux. Additionally, food
portions should be small and foods with strong odors should be
eliminated from the diet, because food smells often incite nausea.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination and focus on
the client’s diagnosis and the subject, ways to ease and prevent
nausea and vomiting. Knowing that foods high in fat may be
difficult to digest will assist you in eliminating this option. Next
eliminate the option that involves consuming primarily soups and
fluids at meals, recalling that liquids will cause distention of the
stomach. To select from the remaining options, recall that lying
down after meals can cause gastric reflux; this will direct you to the
correct option. Review measures to ease and prevent nausea and
vomiting if you had difficulty with this question.

Question 2 pts


A nurse is caring for a client with preeclampsia who is receiving a
magnesium sulfate infusion to prevent eclampsia. Which finding indicates
to the nurse that the medication is effective?

Clonus is present.


Deep tendon reflexes are absent.

Correct! The client experiences diuresis within 24 to 48 hours.


Magnesium level is 10 mg/dL (4.11 mmol/L)




Rationale: Magnesium sulfate is effective in preventing seizures
(eclampsia) if diuresis occurs within 24 to 48 hours of the start of
the infusion. As part of the therapeutic response, renal perfusion is
increased and the client is free of visual disturbances, headache,
epigastric pain, clonus (the rapid rhythmic jerking motion of the
foot that occurs when the client’s lower leg is supported and the
foot is sharply dorsiflexed), and seizure activity. Hyperreflexia
indicates cerebral irritability. Clonus is normally not present. The
therapeutic magnesium level is 4 to 8 mg/dL (1.64 to 3.29 mmol/L).
Reflexes range from 1+ to 2+ but should not be absent.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination and focus on
the strategic words “medication is effective.” Recalling the actions
of this medication and expected assessment findings after a client
receives magnesium sulfate will direct you to this option. Review
the expected assessment findings for a client receiving
magnesium sulfate if you had difficulty with this question.
