Answer to Question 1

B
A woman in her 28th week of gestation should have gained between 17 and 20 lb. The nor-mal pattern of weight gain is about 3.5 lb total in the first trimester (by 13 weeks) and 1 lb per week after that.
The client has gained the appropriate amount of weight. It would be inappropriate to have her decrease her weight gain.
Weight gain needs to be consistent during the last part of the pregnancy and should not be suppressed.
She has gained an appropriate amount of weight and should not increase the weight gain.

Answer to Question 2

D
