Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The weight gain for obese women is 5 to 9 kg (11 to 20 lb). A BMI of 30 or higher categorizes the client as obese. The other options refer to minimal or maximal weight gain for clients in other BMI categories.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
After the first 12 weeks (first trimester), the pregnant woman should gain 0.35 to 0.5 kg (0.8 to 1 lb) per week for the remainder of the pregnancy.
