Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client at the first prenatal visit who has a BMI of 26.5. The client asks how much weight she should gain during pregnancy. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct response is B: The recommendation for you is about 15 to 25 pounds. This is because a client with a BMI of 26.5 falls into the overweight category, and the recommended weight gain during pregnancy for overweight individuals is 15-25 pounds. This range helps in promoting a healthy pregnancy and reducing the risk of complications. Options A and D suggest weight gain ranges that are higher than recommended for an overweight individual, which could lead to potential health risks. Option C states a fixed rate of 1 pound per week, which may not be suitable for everyone and could lead to excessive weight gain.
Therefore, option B is the most appropriate recommendation for a client with a BMI of 26.5.
