Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Adolescents traditionally do not take medicine conscientiously, so they may need frequent reminders to take their vitamin or iron supplement. Stress these are intended to complement nutrition during pregnancy. For a reminder system, girls may need to post a medication reminder chart at home or in her school locker or set a reminder on her phone in order to increase adherence. Obtaining good pregnancy nutrition in restaurants, advantages of fresh foods, and learning to cook may or may not be appropriate to meet the nutritional needs of the pregnant adolescent.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Helping adolescents to make their own health care decisions at health care visits helps to foster a sense of independence. During a visit, the adolescent can weigh herself to feel independent. Insisting that no further sexual relations occur and delaying school do not foster a sense of independence. Permitting the pregnant adolescent to determine the total weight gain for the pregnancy would not be safe considering the patient is still developing physically.
