Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A A preschool child should be able to dress independently.
B A preschool child should be able to ride a tricycle.
C Imaginary friends are common for preschoolers.
D Preschool children gain an average of 5 pounds a year. A gain of only 2 pounds
is less than half of the expected weight gain and should be investigated.

Feedback
A The woman has gained the appropriate amount of weight. It would be inappropriate to
have her decrease her weight gain.

normal pattern of weight gain is 2 to 3 lb total in the first trimester (by 13 weeks) and 1
lb per week after that.
C Weight gain needs to be consistent during the last part of the pregnancy and should not
be suppressed.
D She has gained an appropriate amount of weight and should not increase the weight
gain.
