Question

recommended weight gain for a pregnant female is 15 pounds
true
false

Explanation:

The recommended weight gain for a pregnant female varies based on her pre - pregnancy BMI. For example, for a woman with a normal BMI (18.5 - 24.9), the recommended weight gain is 25 - 35 pounds. For underweight women (BMI < 18.5), it is 28 - 40 pounds, and for overweight women (BMI 25 - 29.9), it is 15 - 25 pounds. A blanket statement of 15 pounds as the recommended weight gain for all pregnant females is incorrect.

Answer:

B. False
