A nurse in a long-term care facility is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about chemotherapy-induced nausea. Which of the following food selections indicates the newly licensed nurse understands the teaching?
Raisin toast
Soft-serve ice cream
String cheese
Hot tea
The Correct Answer is A
A. Raisin toast is a bland carbohydrate that is generally well-tolerated and can help settle the stomach, making it a suitable choice for clients experiencing chemotherapy-induced nausea.
B. Soft-serve ice cream may be too rich and can upset the stomach for some clients undergoing chemotherapy, leading to increased nausea.
C. String cheese is high in fat and protein, which might not be well-tolerated during episodes of nausea, as heavy foods can exacerbate discomfort.
D. Hot tea may be soothing for some clients; however, certain herbal teas can sometimes provoke nausea or have an adverse effect, making it less ideal than bland carbohydrates.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Contacting the provider for instructions could delay immediate resuscitative efforts, which are required in the absence of a DNR order.
B. Consulting with the client’s family may not be effective in an emergency, as the living will is a legal document, and family members cannot override it without a DNR order.
C. Complying with the living will and letting the client expire naturally would be inappropriate without a formal DNR order in place.
D. Calling a code is the correct action because, legally, resuscitative efforts must be initiated in the absence of a written DNR order from the provider, despite the existence of a living will.
