Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who is at 10 weeks of gestation about nutrition during pregnancy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "I should increase my protein intake to 60 grams each day." This is because protein is essential for the growth and development of the fetus. During pregnancy, the recommended daily protein intake increases to support the baby's growth. Adequate protein intake also helps prevent complications such as low birth weight. Increasing protein to 60 grams per day is a specific and appropriate guideline for a client at 10 weeks of gestation.
Choice B is incorrect as hydration is important, but the specific amount of 2 liters per day is not necessarily tailored to the client's needs.
Choice C is incorrect as the increase in caloric intake during pregnancy is typically around 300-500 calories per day, not a fixed 300 calories for all individuals.
Choice D is incorrect as the recommended daily intake of folic acid during pregnancy is 400-800 micrograms, not a fixed amount of 600 micrograms. It is important for neural tube development in the fetus.
