Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
It is recommended that a pregnant woman increase her calorie intake by 340 cal/day during the second trimester and 450 cal/day during the third trimester.

Answer to Question 2

B
A weight gain of 25 pounds in the first 4 months of pregnancy is high. However, pregnancy is not a time to restrict energy and food intake and attempt to lose weight. The mother should focus on following a well-balanced eating plan, modifying her food intake if it is excessive. 1200 kcals/day would be insufficient to support a healthy pregnancy; taking a multivitamin/mineral supplement cannot compensate for inadequate food intake.
