This course is actually Nutrition.
4. Fluid retention can cause an increase in weight gain and should be monitored closely.
A. True
B. False
5. Renee is a 21-year-old African American woman in her 35th week of pregnancy. She is married and the mother of two young children. Her pre-pregnancy BMI was 18.1. She has gained 24 pounds since becoming pregnant, but at her most recent prenatal visit, she was found to have lost a pound over the past week. She says that her weight loss is due to “stress.” Renee says she enjoys eating canned spinach cooked in tomato sauce with chopped onions and craves “Napoleon” flavored ice cream.
Plot Renee’s weight gain on the prenatal weight-gain grid (Figure E-1, Appendix E of your text).
What is your assessment of her weight gain?
A. Her weight gain is at the low end of the expected range for a woman who was underweight prior to pregnancy.
B. It is especially of concern that she lost a pound in the last week because there should be a consistent gain in weight during the last trimester. This puts her at risk for complications during delivery and having an infant with low birth weight
C. Her weight gain is within the expected range for a woman who was normal weight prior to pregnancy.
D. It is not of concern that she lost a pound in the last week because she is close to the last trimester.
