Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Pregnancy and the childbearing year is an ideal time for the entire family to make healthy changes. Planning and preparing healthy foods are important parts of prenatal care that can have a positive impact on the entire family. The other options are good for the pregnant woman and her partner, but don't have as big of an impact on the whole family.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Healthy nutrition is important during pregnancy, and pregnant women should eat plenty of yellow and orange vegetables, low-fat dairy products, and lower-fat meats. Fish is a great source of protein; however, pregnant women should eat fish lower in mercury, such as whitefish, haddock, pollock, sole, and trout.
