A nurse is caring for a client who reports the use of chondroitin and glucosamine. The health benefit of this supplement combination is to do which of the following?

A. Brushing teeth immediately after eating may exacerbate nausea, especially if the client is experiencing pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting.

B. Laying down for 30 minutes after meals may worsen nausea and reflux symptoms.

C. Drinking 12 oz of water with each meal may contribute to feelings of fullness and exacerbate nausea and vomiting.

D. Eating a dry carbohydrate before getting out of bed, such as crackers or dry toast, can help alleviate nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy by providing a bland, easily digestible source of energy before the client starts moving in the morning.

A. The child develops a dry, hacking cough: This suggests ineffective clearance of secretions and may indicate a need for further intervention.

B. The child has increased nasal secretions: Nasal secretions are not directly related to the effectiveness of high-frequency chest compressions in clearing pulmonary secretions.

C. The child has increased sputum production: Increased sputum production indicates that the

treatment is effectively mobilizing and clearing mucus from the airways, which is beneficial for a child with cystic fibrosis.

D. The child develops diminished breath sounds: Diminished breath sounds could indicate a complication such as atelectasis or pneumothorax and would not be an expected finding with effective high-frequency chest compressions.
