A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is at 12 weeks of gestation and has hyperemesis gravidarum. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the nurse's instructions?

A. "I will eat a low-protein snack 30 minutes before going to bed each night.": A bedtime snack is not typically recommended for hyperemesis gravidarum unless individualized for nutritional needs. Protein-rich snacks, rather than low-protein, may help stabilize blood sugar and reduce nausea. B. "I will eat or drink something every 2 to 3 hours throughout the day.": Frequent, small meals or snacks help maintain stable blood glucose and prevent the stomach from being empty, which can reduce nausea and vomiting. This strategy aligns with standard dietary management for hyperemesis gravidarum. C. "I will try to eat balanced meals instead of only foods that appeal to my taste.": While balanced nutrition is important, clients with hyperemesis gravidarum may need to prioritize tolerable foods over strict balance to maintain intake and prevent dehydration. Flexibility in food choices is necessary during active symptoms. D. "I will wait 1 hour after getting up in the morning to have breakfast.": Nausea is often worst in the morning for clients with hyperemesis gravidarum. Eating a small snack immediately upon waking, rather than delaying, can help reduce morning nausea.
