Answer to Question 1

B
Gestational diabetes is generally treated using dietary control and moderate exercise. These measures help regulate weight gain; weight loss is not recommended during pregnancy. Dietary control may include limiting sugar intake, but it is not necessary to avoid it completely. If gesta-tional diabetes cannot be controlled using diet and exercise, insulin may be used, but oral di-abetes mediations are not used during pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Sources of folic acid include 100 fortified ready-to-eat breakfast cereals; white breads, rolls, pasta, and crackers (enriched flour is required to be fortified with folic acid); leafy green vegetables, such as spinach; citrus fruits; and dried peas and beans, such as lentils, soybeans, and pinto beans.
