Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation:
1. This response is too vague to be helpful. Adolescents will need specific information to improve nutrition during pregnancy.
2. Although folic acid is important during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects, and for lactation, there is not one single nutritional element responsible for having a healthy baby.
3. Adolescents often have an iron intake that is inadequate for pregnancy. Giving specific examples is most helpful when providing nutritional information.
4. Calcium is needed throughout pregnancy and should be consumed daily.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation:
1. The 40-year-old client has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
2. The 35-year-old client has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
3. Adolescent clients typically are still in their own growth cycle. Suddenly, they have to supply nutrition for themselves and the fetus. This places them at greatest risk for malnutrition.
4. The 22-year-old client has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
