Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During pregnancy, it is important for the patient to have a balanced and varied diet that includes foods from all four food groups (grains, vegetables and fruits, dairy, and protein). Rigid recommendations about weight gain or doubling protein intake are not necessary for every patient, as individual needs may vary. Additionally, excessive intake of vitamin A can be harmful during pregnancy, so there is no need to specifically increase consumption of vitamin A or milk products.
