Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Excessive maternal weight gain increases the risk of hypoglycemia, large for gestational size, a low Apgar score, seizures, or polycythemia in the infant.

Answer to Question 2

A
Pregnant women need almost twice as much iron as nonpregnant women because of the expan-sion in maternal red cell volume and to supply the needs of the developing fetus. This amount is hard to achieve without use of a supplement; it cannot easily be achieved simply with a well-balanced diet.
