Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
African Americans have a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension (42) than Whites (29.1).

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Phenylalanine crosses the placenta and leads to higher levels in the fetus than the mother. Maintenance of maternal phenylalanine levels within and acceptable range during pregnancy is associated with greatly diminished risk of poor infant outcomes. The nurse should reinforce nutritional teaching the vegan client received before becoming pregnant. Although the 42-year-old client is advanced for maternal age, a BMI of 22 is considered a healthy weight and the client should be encourage to maintain a healthy diet.
