Answer to Question 1

A

for the nutritional needs of pregnancy.
B A daily supplement is not the best goal for this patient. It does not meet the basic need
of proper nutrition during pregnancy.

assessing the weight gain is the best method of monitoring nutritional intake for this
pregnancy.
D Increasing the intake of complex carbohydrates is important for this patient, but
monitoring the weight gain should be the end goal.
