Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The DRI for iron increases by 50 during pregnancy to support the increase in maternal blood volume and to provide iron for fetal liver storage.

Answer to Question 2

B
Behavioral goals must be tailored to each client's habits and preferences. Their willingness to exercise is only one of many factors to consider. The amount of weight loss desired is not the focus of behavioral change. The skill of the health practitioner may help or hinder the process of determining behavioral goals, but is not the focus of the process.
