Answer to Question 1

B
A weight gain between 15 and 25 pounds during pregnancy is recommended for a woman who is overweight prior to pregnancy (BMI 25.0-29.9). Pregnant teens and underweight women should gain 28 to 40 lbs. Recommended ranges for weight gain are based on prepregnant weight and individual variables.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
In a healthy woman, the recommendation for iron decreases during lactation (9 mg) from pregnancy (27 mg). There is no change in the recommendation for vitamin D, protein, and calcium.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
