Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Needs for energy, protein, calcium, iodine, zinc, the B vitamins, and vitamin C remain greater than nonpregnant needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Food sources that are rich in iron include liver, meats, whole grain or enriched breads and cereals, deep green leafy vegetables, legumes, and dried fruits. In addition, the vitamin C in orange sections aids absorption. Dairy products and tea are not sources of iron.
