Question

2 — nutritional requirements during pregnancy
learning objective: determine the nutritional needs during pregnancy.
what is the recommended daily allowance (rda) for protein during pregnancy?

a.) 71 g

b.) 56 g

c.) 81 g

d.) 25 g

Explanation:

The RDA for protein during pregnancy is an established nutritional guideline. The non - pregnant adult RDA for protein is around 46 - 56 g (for women). During pregnancy, additional protein is needed for fetal growth, placental development, etc. The recommended daily allowance for protein during pregnancy is 71 g, so option a is correct. Options b (56 g) is more like the non - pregnant adult RDA, option c (81 g) is too high, and option d (25 g) is too low for both non - pregnant and pregnant individuals.

Answer:

a.) 71 g
