A pregnant patient's weight before pregnancy was 163 lb. The nurse expects the patient to weigh _____ to _____ lb during the second trimester
Fill in the blank with correct word.
ANS:
178; 183
178, 178
A 3- to 5-lb weight gain is expected during the first trimester, making the weight 166 to 168. The second trimester is 12 to 15 lb in addition to the first trimester weight. Thus 166 + 12 lb = 178 lb at the low end and 168 + 15 lb = 183 at the high end.
