Needs of Maternal and Reproductive Health Clients Questions
Question 1 of 5
A patient at 8 weeks' gestation complains to the nurse, 'I feel sick almost every morning. And I throw up at least two or three times a week.' What is the nurse's best guidance for this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Try eating peanut butter on whole wheat bread right before going to bed.' This recommendation is based on the fact that consuming a small snack high in protein and complex carbohydrates before going to bed can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce morning sickness symptoms in pregnant women. Peanut butter provides protein and whole wheat bread provides complex carbohydrates, which can help alleviate nausea and vomiting. Choice A is incorrect because asking about cheese does not address the patient's symptoms or provide any practical guidance for managing morning sickness. Choice B is incorrect because increasing the number of meals may not necessarily alleviate morning sickness and could potentially exacerbate symptoms. Choice D is incorrect because suggesting that eating enough throughout the day will prevent sickness oversimplifies the issue and does not offer targeted advice for managing morning sickness.
