A client with a normal prepregnancy weight asks why she has been told to gain 25–35 pounds during her pregnancy but her underweight friend was told to gain more weight
The nurse should tell the client that recommended weight gain during pregnancy should be: 1. 25–35 pounds, regardless of a client's prepregnant weight.
2. More than 25–35 pounds for an overweight woman.
3. Up to 40 pounds for an underweight woman.
4. The same for a normal weight woman as for an overweight woman.
3
Rationale:
1. Women of normal weight should gain 25–35 pounds during pregnancy for optimal fetal outcome.
2. Overweight women should limit their weight gain to 15 pounds during pregnancy.
3. Prepregnant weight determines the recommended weight gain during pregnancy. Underweight women are encouraged to gain up to 40 pounds.
4. Women of normal weight should gain 25–35 pounds during pregnancy for optimal fetal outcome, whereas overweight women should limit their weight gain to 15 pounds during pregnancy.
