Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Women should discuss what is she is consuming with her primary health-care provider, as herbal supplements are not currently regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although herbal supplements are natural substances, many may be considered harmful to consume during pregnancy. The client should collaborate with the nurse to help determine which dietary supplements are safe versus harmful for the individual. A consultation with the health-care provider is needed to determine if the supplements may be continued during the pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

C
Adaptive thermogenesis is the process by which the body uses energy to adjust to changes in physical and biologic conditions. Homeostasis refers to the overall process of maintaining a con-stant environment in the body in response to changing conditions. Thermoregulation refers to maintenance of constant temperature in the body. The thermic effect of food is the energy used to digest, absorb, metabolize, and store food.
