Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During lactation, the RDA for many nutrients changes, but not proportionately to the changes that occur during pregnancy. During lactation, the body requires more energy, protein, calcium, iron, and other vitamins and minerals to support the production and quality of breast milk. However, not all nutrient needs increase at the same rate as during pregnancy, and some may even decrease, such as the RDA for vitamin A. Therefore, choice C is the most accurate answer.
