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.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
