Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
There are several types of vegetarian diets. Some meet prenatal needs as long as the proper combination of foods is eaten. Depending on the type of vegetarian diet, supplemental vitamin B12 and calcium may be recommended. Simply increasing fruit intake would not provide the most commonly deficient nutrients. People have many reasons for choosing vegetarian diets, and the nurse must respect that choice and work with the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Of the choices presented, only carrots are high in vitamin A.
