Answer to Question 1

D
Understanding the client's food preferences and how she prepares food will assist the nurse in determining whether the client's culture is adversely affecting her nutritional intake.
Evaluating a client's weight gain during pregnancy should be included for all clients, not just for those who are culturally different.
The socioeconomic status of the clients may alter the nutritional intake, but not the cultural influence.
Teaching the food groups to the client should come after assessing food preference.

Answer to Question 2
