Answer to Question 1

Fetal alcohol syndrome
Alcohol interferes with the absorption and use of protein, thiamine, folic acid, and zinc. It also impairs metabolism and often takes the place of food in the mother's diet. Vitamin and mineral supplementation is usually necessary for women who consumed alcohol before pregnancy because nutrient stores may be depleted.

Answer to Question 2

T
Vitamin and mineral supplements are not necessary, despite the fact that most prenatal pro-viders order prenatal vitamins. Expectant mothers who are vegetarians, lactose intolerant, or have special problems with nutrient absorption may need supplements other than iron and folic acid. A dietary assessment will determine a woman's actual needs. The nurse must carefully consider the client's age, cultural background, and knowledge of nutrition when providing teaching regarding her diet.
