Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'You should avoid consuming liquids with your meals.' This advice is essential because avoiding drinking liquids with meals can help prevent overdistension of the stomach, which can worsen nausea. Option A is incorrect because eating foods high in protein before bedtime may not directly address the issue of nausea and vomiting. Option C is incorrect as eating three large meals a day may exacerbate nausea due to overeating or having an empty stomach for an extended period. Option D is incorrect as consuming caffeine can actually worsen nausea in pregnant clients.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Newborns who are large for gestational age (LGA) are at risk for hypoglycemia due to increased insulin production. Hyperbilirubinemia (Choice A) is more commonly associated with ABO or Rh incompatibility. Hypercalcemia (Choice C) is not a common finding in LGA newborns. Hypothermia (Choice D) may occur in newborns who are small for gestational age (SGA) due to a lack of subcutaneous fat for insulation, but it is not typically associated with LGA newborns.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Terbutaline is a tocolytic medication used to stop uterine contractions. The client stating that the contractions have stopped indicates that the medication is effective. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because feeling stronger contractions, a racing heart, or decreased fetal movement are not signs of terbutaline effectiveness in managing preterm labor.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Jaundice occurring within the first 24 hours of life is a sign of pathological jaundice and should be reported to the provider. Caput succedaneum, acrocyanosis, and overlapping cranial sutures are common findings in newborns and do not necessarily require immediate reporting unless they are severe or indicate other underlying issues.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct instruction for a client who is postpartum and had a cesarean birth is to not lift anything heavier than her newborn. This precaution is crucial to prevent injury to the healing incision site and allow for proper recovery. Choice A is incorrect as it implies resuming abdominal exercises in 2 weeks, which may strain the incision area. Choice C is incorrect because the client should wait longer than 1 week before driving to ensure they can perform emergency maneuvers if needed. Choice D is incorrect as resuming sexual activity in 2 weeks may put strain on the healing tissues and increase the risk of complications.
