B) Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day
C) Increase intake of spicy and fatty foods to settle the stomach
D) Take antiemetic medication immediately upon waking
Correct Answer: B) Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day

vitamin B6 may help, and severe vomiting (hyperemesis
gravidarum) should be reported.

2.) The nurse is teaching a client about symptoms to report
during her pregnancy. Which of the following statements
by the client indicates a correct understanding of the
teaching?
A. “If I have any fluid leaking from my vagina, I must call the
clinic immediately”
B. “I’ll report increased frequency of urination”
C. “Nausea should be reported immediately”
D. “If I feel tired after resting, I should report it immediately”
Correct Answer: A. “If I have any fluid leaking from my vagina, I
must call the clinic immediately”
Verified Explanation:
, Sudden or continuous leakage of fluid may indicate rupture of
membranes, increasing the risk for infection or preterm labor, and
requires prompt evaluation. Increased urination and fatigue are
common discomforts; nausea is expected in the first trimester
unless severe.

3.) The charge nurse is discussing probable signs of
pregnancy with a newly hired nurse. The newly hired nurse
correctly identifies which of the following as a probable
sign of pregnancy?
A. Goodell sign
B. Breast tenderness
C. Fetal heart rate (FHR) detected on doppler
D. Negative serum pregnancy test
Correct Answer: A. Goodell sign
Verified Explanation:

suggestive of pregnancy. Goodell sign (softening of the cervix) is a
classic probable sign. Breast tenderness is a presumptive sign,
FHR detection is a positive sign, and a negative pregnancy test
rules out pregnancy.
