Explanation:
(A) Prunes provide fiber to decrease constipation and are an excellent source of dietary iron, as the prenatal client is not taking her supplemental iron and iron-deficiency anemia is common during pregnancy. (B) Green leafy vegetables provide a source of fiber and iron; however, prunes are a better source of both. (C) Red meat is a good iron source but will not address the constipation problem. (D) Eggs are a good iron source but do not address the constipation problem.

Explanation:
(A) A person in crisis needs support, assistance, and direction from a caregiver rather than just an instruction. (B) A battered person may feel guilt and think that they cause the abuser's behavior; however, the abuser has the problem and goes through phases of violence. (C) The nurse should provide support and guidance to the client in crisis by offering alternatives and assist in referrals. (D) Focusing on help from law enforcement may be a very temporary solution, because the victim may be fearful of pressing charges.
This answer does not address the crisis of going home.

(A)
Aspirin should not be given on an empty stomach because it is irritating to the mucosa.
(B)

Section: Questions Set E
Explanation:
(A) Nursing measures to support fetal oxygenation and promote maternal blood pressure would precede calling the physician. (B) Systolic pressures below 100 mm Hg or a reduction in the systolic pressure of >30% necessitate treatment. Assessing the blood pressure in 5 minutes may allow for further fetal and/or maternal compromise. Turning the client on her left side will promote uteroplacental perfusion and is appropriate. (C) Oxytocin (Pitocin) increases the strength of uterine contractions and may cause maternal hypotension; thus it is an inappropriate drug for use in this clinical situation. IV fluids would be increased to expand the circulating blood volume and promote increased blood pressure. (D) Turning the mother to her left lateral side promotes uteroplacental perfusion. IV fluids are administered to increase the circulating blood volume, and O2 is administered to promote fetal oxygenation and decrease the nausea accompanying the hypotension.
