Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
There are several types of vegetarian diets. Some meet prenatal needs as long as the proper combination of foods is eaten. Depending on the type of vegetarian diet, supplemental vitamin B12 and calcium may be recommended. Simply increasing fruit intake would not provide the most commonly deficient nutrients. People have many reasons for choosing vegetarian diets, and the nurse must respect that choice and work with the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Of the choices presented, only carrots are high in vitamin A.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
