A) Ways to remember to take an iron supplement daily
B) Ways to obtain good pregnancy nutrition in restaurants

D) Ways the pregnant adolescent can learn to cook her own food
A
Feedback:
Adolescents traditionally do not take medicine conscientiously, so they may need frequent reminders to take their vitamin or iron supplement. Stress these are intended to complement nutrition during pregnancy. For a reminder system, girls may need to post a medication reminder chart at home or in her school locker or set a reminder on her phone in order to increase adherence. Obtaining good pregnancy nutrition in restaurants, advantages of fresh foods, and learning to cook may or may not be appropriate to meet the nutritional needs of the pregnant adolescent.
