Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The weight gain recommendations for the pregnant adolescent are based on the teen's prepreg-nancy weight. Teenagers who begin the pregnancy at a normal weight should be counseled to begin weight gain in the first trimester and to average gains of 1 pound per week for the second and third trimesters.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional problem among both pregnant and non-pregnant adolescent females. The nurse should educate about iron-rich foods and foods that promote iron absorption, such as those containing vitamin C. Proper hydration and weight gain do not help prevent iron deficiency anemia. Following up with a dietician is not necessary as the nurse discusses prevention of anemia.
