Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Women should continue taking an iron supplement for 6 weeks after delivery. It is not necessary to take iron for the duration of nursing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Two cups of coffee per day increase epinephrine and decrease intervillous blood flow with a potential for spontaneous abortion. Although an amount greater than 6 to 8 cups per day is likely to be toxic to the embryo, there is no evidence that caffeine is teratogenic. The risk is consistent throughout the pregnancy.
