a. "Protein will help my baby grow."
b. "Eating protein will prevent me from becoming anemic."
c. "Eating protein will make my baby have strong teeth after he is born."
d. "Eating protein will prevent me from being diabetic."
ANS: A
Protein is the nutritional element basic to growth. An adequate protein intake is essential to meeting the increasing demands of pregnancy. These demands arise from the rapid growth of the fetus; the enlargement of the uterus, mammary glands, and placenta; the increase in the maternal blood volume; and the formation of amniotic fluid. Iron intake prevents anemia. Calcium intake is needed for fetal bone and tooth development. Glycemic control is needed in diabetics; protein is one nutritional factor to consider, but this is not the primary role of protein intake.
