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.

Clonus is present. Deep tendon reflexes are absent. The client experiences diuresis within 24 to 48 hours.Correct!Correct! 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.
