Needs of Maternal and Reproductive Health Clients Questions
Question 1 of 5
A pregnant patient has lactose intolerance. Which recommendation will the nurse provide to best help the patient meet dietary needs for calcium?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Add foods such as nuts, dried fruit, and broccoli to the diet. This recommendation is best because these foods are good sources of calcium and are also lactose-free, which is important for a pregnant patient with lactose intolerance. Nuts and dried fruits are rich in calcium, while broccoli is a good vegetable source of calcium. Choice B is incorrect because consuming dairy products can exacerbate symptoms of lactose intolerance, even with an anti-gas product. Choice C is incorrect because while dark leafy vegetables are good sources of calcium, they may not provide enough for a pregnant patient's needs. Choice D is incorrect because powdered milk still contains lactose and may not be well-tolerated by someone with lactose intolerance.
Question 2 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.
