Question 2

Ms. W is a 35-year-old pregnant client in for a routine prenatal visit. She tells the nurse that she has been having a problem with constipation and is thinking about using a dietary supplement she read about to help eliminate the problem.
 
  The best response for the nurse would be that pregnant and lactating females should: 1. Avoid dietary supplements since they may contain products that can be teratogenic or mutagenic.
   2. Dietary supplements are safe for pregnant and lactating women because they contain all natural products.
   3. Dietary products should be safe if used as directed.
   4. Avoidance of dietary supplements can help to prevent development of allergies in infants.

Answer to Question 1

C
Patients with celiac disease need to avoid foods that contain gluten, found in wheat, rye, and barley. Rice, soy, peanuts, maize, corn, flax, quinoa, and millet do not contain gluten.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The use of dietary supplements should be avoided in pregnant and lactating females because some components may be teratogenic or mutagenic. Even products that are labeled as all natural can have adverse side effects on both the mother and infant/fetus. Limited scientific research has examined the effect of dietary supplements on these women. Research has not significantly supported the impact of dietary supplements on the allergies of infants.
