Question

kenya is three months pregnant. besides calcium, what supplement is kenyas doctor most likely to recommend to keep her skeleton and the skeleton of her baby healthy? (1 point) ○ phosphorous ○ vitamin d ○ magnesium ○ vitamin k

Explanation:

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which is crucial for bone health. Pregnant women need adequate calcium and vitamin D for their own bone health and the development of the baby's skeleton. Phosphorus is also involved in bone structure but the key here is the role of vitamin D in calcium absorption. Magnesium has other functions in the body (like nerve and muscle function) and while vitamin K is important for blood - clotting and some aspects of bone metabolism, its role in relation to calcium absorption for skeletal health during pregnancy is not as prominent as vitamin D.

Answer:

vitamin D
