Answer to Question 1

D
Maternal nutrition is vital to the healthy growth of the fetus. Poor maternal nutrition leads to an undergrown placenta. A small, poorly functioning placenta and smaller than normal umbilical cord is the cause for small-for-gestational age (otherwise known as small-for-dates) babies. The other options are all things the prospective mother needs to know, but they would not have an immediate impact on fetal health.

Answer to Question 2

qualitative
The unit council is conducting qualitative research, which focuses on the lived experiences of people.
