Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: Obese clients are at higher risk for developing gestational diabetes. Obese clients are at no greater risk for developing placenta previa than women of a lower BMI. Obese clients are not at a high risk for chromosomal defects. Infants of obese mothers are at high risk to develop macorsomia.

Answer to Question 2

C
Foods high in carbohydrate, such as breakfast cereal, help replace glycogen stores. Raw carrots are low in energy; string cheese and scrambled eggs provide mostly protein and fat.
