Question

The nurse is caring for a primigravid client at about 9 weeks’ gestation. After explaining self-care measures for common discomforts of pregnancy, the nurse determines that the client understands the instructions when she makes which statement?

Answer 1

If she was informed about discomforts such as morning sickness where women feel nauseated, the patient will likely know the remedy which is to eating dry crackers or toast (before arising in the morning) as it reduces nausea and chances of vomiting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pregnancy brings its fairs share of troubles along with beautiful creations. However, the question is focusing on the troublesome side and mostly talking about the problems that women who are pregnant start to face early in their pregnancy.

Since the patient is about 1/4 way done (typical full term is 40 weeks) she is likely dealing with morning sickness where she feels nauseated. So maybe the client is informed about these discomforts and told the remedy for eg: many OB/GYN recommend eating dry crackers or toast before arising in the morning as it reduces nausea and chances of vomiting.
