Answer to Question 1

C
Energy needs increase by about 300 kcals/day during the second and third trimesters of preg-nancy. Before pregnancy and during the first trimester, energy needs are not increased.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
In general, an inadequate maternal diet decreases the quantity of milk produced, not the quality. The exceptions are thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin A, and iodine. Prolonged inadequate maternal intake reduces their amount in breast milk.
