Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. During pregnancy, the woman needs increased amounts of protein to provide amino acids for fetal development, blood volume expansion, and growth of other maternal tissues.
2. Protein contributes to overall energy metabolism.
3. The amount of protein recommended each day during pregnancy is 70 grams.
5. Plant proteins can meet a woman's protein needs; however, more of a given protein may be needed because animal proteins are of higher quality.

Answer to Question 2

3,4,5
Rationale 1: If a teen's mother or sister had a child during her teens, the teen is also more likely to have a child during adolescence.
Rationale 2: Adolescents who participate in afterschool activities are less likely to be sexually experienced, and therefore less likely to become pregnant as an adolescent.
Rationale 3: Pregnant adolescents with plans for the future such as college or a job are more likely to use contraception consistently, and more likely to choose abortion if they do become pregnant.
Rationale 4: The younger the patient is at first pregnancy, the more likely she is to have another pregnancy during her adolescence.
Rationale 5: Adolescents from low-income families are more likely to become pregnant than are their middle-class peers.
