Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
There is no evidence that micronutrient deficiencies cause a physiologic craving; however, the eating of soil and clay may displace the intake of iron-rich foods from the diet and may interfere with iron absorption.

Answer to Question 2

B
It is dangerous to restrict sodium intake during pregnancy; sodium restriction can reduce plasma volume and cardiac output. Therefore, a woman with preeclampsia and hypertension should con-tinue her regular sodium intake. She should follow a well-balanced diet including plenty of pro-tein to replace urinary losses and with adequate vitamins and minerals. She should not restrict protein intake, and iron and calcium supplements are not generally recommended.
