Correct Answer : A,B,D

The correct answer is choice a. Increase daily caloric intake by 300 to 400 calories, b. Consume folic acid supplements daily, and d. Take daily iron and calcium supplements.

Choice A rationale:

Choice B rationale:

Folic acid is crucial for preventing neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Daily supplementation is recommended.

Choice C rationale:

Pregnant teenagers need to increase their protein intake to support fetal growth and maternal health. Maintaining current protein intake is not sufficient.
