Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings indicates that the client should be referred to a registered dietician?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. A 4.5 kg (10 lb) weight gain since a positive pregnancy test is concerning as it may indicate excessive weight gain, which can lead to complications during pregnancy.
