A pregnant woman's diet may not meet her need for folates. A good source of this nutrient is
 
  a. Chicken
  b. Cheese
  c. Potatoes
  d. Green leafy vegetables

Question 2

A woman at 28 weeks' gestation is asked to keep a fetal activity diary and to bring the results with her to her next clinic visit.
 
  One week later, she calls the clinic and anxiously tells the nurse that she has not felt the baby move for over 30 minutes. The most appropriate initial comment by the nurse would be: 1. You need to come to the clinic right away for further evaluation.
  2. Have you been smoking?
  3. When did you eat last?
  4. Your baby might be asleep.

Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Chicken is an excellent source of protein, but it is poor in folates.
B Cheese is an excellent source of calcium, but it is poor in folates.
C Potatoes contain carbohydrates and vitamins and minerals, but are poor in folates.
D Sources of folates include green leafy vegetables, whole grains, fruits, liver, dried peas,
and beans.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. The mother would need to come to the clinic only if there had been no fetal activity for several hours.
2. Smoking typically will stimulate the infant.
3. After meals, typically an infant is active and moving.
4. Lack of fetal activity for 30 minutes typically is insignificant, and only means the infant is sleeping.
