Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Continuous prenatal care is important for a successful pregnancy outcome. The recommended follow-up visit schedule for a healthy pregnant woman is as follows: every 4 weeks up to 28 weeks (7 months); every 2 weeks from 29 to 36 weeks; every week from 37 weeks to birth.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Folic acid is added to maternal prenatal vitamins because of the threat of developing anemia. The pregnant patient should take a prenatal vitamin that contains a folic acid supplement of 0.4 to 0.6 mg, which may or may not be a part of an over-the-counter vitamin supplement. Vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin B12 are important; however, do not have the same risk of developing a health problem if not present in a prenatal vitamin supplement.
