A nurse is teaching a group of newly licensed nurses about palliative care. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A rationale:

Eliminating unhealthy foods is generally a good practice, but specific guidance related to managing hyperemesis gravidarum is needed.

Choice B rationale:

Dairy products can be included in the diet unless the client has a specific intolerance or allergy.

Choice C rationale:

Drinking water with each meal can be helpful, but avoiding dehydration is more important. Fluid intake should be consistent throughout the day.

Choice D rationale:

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition that causes severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, which can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and weight loss. To prevent or reduce these complications, the nurse should instruct the client to eat foods at colder temperatures, as they are less likely to trigger nausea than hot or spicy foods. The client should also eat small, frequent meals and avoid foods that are greasy, fatty, or have strong odors.

Choice A rationale:

The client's parent is typically the legal decision-maker for a 19-year-old client who is unable to make decisions due to their condition. Approaching the client's parent about considering organ donation is appropriate.

Choice B rationale:

While family dynamics can vary, the parent is usually the primary decision- maker for a minor or incapacitated individual. The grandparents may be consulted or involved in the decision-making process, but the parent's consent is generally required for organ donation.

Choice C rationale:

The client's older sibling may be consulted or involved in the decision- making process, but the parent's consent is generally required for organ donation.

Choice D rationale:

The client's spouse may be consulted or involved in the decision-making process, but the parent's consent is generally required for organ donation.
