Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Complex carbohydrates supply the pregnant woman with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fats provide 9 calories in each gram, in contrast to carbohydrates and proteins, which provide only 4 calories in each gram. Fiber is supplied mainly by the complex carbohydrates. The most common simple carbohydrate is table sugar, which is a source of energy but does not provide any nutrients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
The nurse planning to use an interpreter should listen carefully to what the client says.
The nurse should speak slowly and smile when appropriate. Ask the interpreter to
explain exactly what is said, as much as possible, instead of paraphrasing. It is
preferable to use a trained female interpreter when one is available instead of a male
interpreter. The nurse should face the client when speaking, not the interpreter.
