Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching to a client, gravida 1 para 0, at 8 weeks gestation about expected weight gain during pregnancy. The client's prepregnancy BMI is 21 kg/m?. Which statement made by the client indicates an appropriate understanding about weight gain?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Appropriate weight gain during pregnancy decreases risks to the client and fetus. Optimal weight gain is determined by prepregnancy BMI. Underweight clients need to gain more weight (~1 lb [0.5 kg] per week) during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy than obese clients (~0.5 lb [0.2 kg] per week). However, weight gain in the first trimester should be 1.1-4.4 lb (0.5-2.0 kg), regardless of BMI.
