Answer to Question 1

D
Weight gain during pregnancy is highly correlated with infant birth weight. Zinc status, bone density, and calcium status of the infant are usually maintained at the expense of the mother's stores.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Low-fiber diets may be easier to prepare in the consistency required for a mechanical soft diet. Including all food groups in appropriate proportions will assure a balanced nutritional intake. Meats that are not tough or include casings or other sources of protein are an essential component in a balanced diet. Extra salt or fat should be avoided since neither is beneficial in excess.
