1.
The most important single predictor of an infant’s future health and

survival is:
a. the infant’s birth weight.
b. the infant’s iron status at birth.
c. the mother’s weight at delivery.
d. the mother’s prepregnancy weight.
ANSWER: A
RATIO: Option A is the accurate answer because Low-birthweight infants are more
likely to contract diseases and nearly 40 times more likely to die in the first month of life.
Impaired growth and development during pregnancy may have long-term health effects
as well.
2. A mother’s pre pregnancy nutrition is important to a healthy pregnancy
because it determines the development of:
a. the largest baby possible.
b. adequate maternal iron stores.
c. an adequate fat supply for the mother.
d. healthy support tissues—the placenta, amniotic sac, umbilical cord, and uterus.
ANSWER: D
RATIO: Option D is the accurate answer because a major reason that the mother’s
pregnancy nutrition is so crucial is that it determines whether her uterus will be able to
support the growth of a healthy placenta during the first month of gestation
3. A pregnant woman needs an extra 450 calories above the allowance for
nonpregnant women during which trimester(s)?
a. First
b. Second
c. Third
d. First, second, and third
ANSWER: C
RATIO: Option C is the accurate answer because the pregnant woman needs no
additional energy intake during the first trimester, an increase of 340 kcalories per day
during the second trimester, and an increase of 450 kcalories per day during the third
trimester as compared with her nonpregnant needs.
4. Two nutrients needed in large amounts during pregnancy for rapid cell
proliferation are:
a. vitamin B12 and vitamin C.
b. calcium and vitamin B6
c. folate and vitamin B12.
d. copper and zinc.
ANSWER: C
RATIO: Option C is the accurate answer because the vitamins famous for their roles in
cell reproduction—folate and vitamin B12—are needed in large amounts during
pregnancy. New cells are laid down at a tremendous pace as the fetus grows and
develops. At the same time, because the mother’s blood volume increases, the number of
her red blood cells must rise, requiring more cell division and therefore more vitamins.
5. For a woman who is at the appropriate weight for height and is carrying a
single fetus, the recommended weight gain during pregnancy is:
a. 40 to 60 pounds.
b. 25 to 35 pounds.
c. 10 to 20 pounds.
d. 20 to 40 pounds.
ANSWER: B
RATIO: Option B is the accurate answer because healthy weight (BMI 18.5 to 24.9) has
a recommended weight gain of 25 to 35 lb (11.5 to 16.0 kg)
6. Rewards of physical activity during pregnancy may include:
a. weight loss.
b. decreased incidence of pica.
c. relief from morning sickness.
d. reduced stress and easier labor.
ANSWER: D
RATIO: Option D is the accurate answer because physical Activity reduces stress and
makes the labor easier
7. During pregnancy, the combination of high blood pressure and protein in
the urine signals:
a. jaundice.
b. preeclampsia.
c. gestational diabetes.
d. gestational hypertension.
ANSWER: B
RATIO: Option B is the accurate answer because preeclampsia is a condition
characterized by hypertension and protein in the urine during pregnancy.
8. Which of the following preventative measures should pregnant women take
to avoid contracting listeriosis?
a. Choose soft rather than aged cheeses.
b. Avoid pasteurized milk.
c. Thoroughly heat hot dogs.
d. Avoid raw fruits and vegetables.
ANSWER: C
RATIO: Do not eat hot dogs or luncheon or deli meats unless heated until steaming
hot.
9. To facilitate lactation, a mother need:
a. about 5000 kcalories a day.
b. adequate nutrition and fluid intake.
c. vitamin and mineral supplements.
d. a glass of wine or beer before each feeding.
ANSWER: B
RATIO: Option B is the accurate answer because this milk costs a woman almost
500 kcalories per day above her regular need during the first 6 months of
lactation. To meet this energy need, the woman is advised to eat foods providing
an extra 330 kcalories each day. The other 170 kcalories can be drawn from the
fat stores she accumulated during pregnancy. During the second 6 months of
lactation, an additional 400 kcalories each day are recommended. The food
energy consumed by the nursing mother should carry with its abundant nutrients.
Severe energy restriction hinders milk production and can compromise the
mother’s health.
10.A A woman who breastfeeds her infant should drink plenty of water to:
a. produce more milk.
b. suppress lactation.
c. prevent dehydration.
d. dilute nutrient concentrations.
ANSWER: C
RATIO: Option C is the accurate answer since drinking a lot of fluids especially
water could prevent dehydration especially to women who are breastfeeding since
they are supplying milk to their children.
