The nurse is teaching a client, gravida 1 para 0, at 8 weeks gestation about expected weight gain in pregnancy. The client's prepregnancy BMI is 21 kg/m2. Which statement made by the client INDICATES an understanding about weight gain? 1. "I should gain 10-15 lb during the first trimester" 2. "I should gain a total of about 30 lb during my pregnancy." 3. "I should gain no more than 0.5 lb per week during the third trimester." 4. "If I gain <20 lb during pregnancy, it will be easier to lose weight postpartum."

One of the variables collected in the North Carolina Birth Registry data (A-3) is pounds gained during pregnancy. According to data from the entire registry for 2001, the number of pounds gained during pregnancy was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 30.23 pounds and a standard deviation of 13.84 pounds. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected mother in North Carolina in 2001 gained: (a) Less than 15 pounds during pregnancy (b) More than 40 pounds (c) Between 14 and 40 pounds (d) Less than 10 pounds (e) Between 10 and 20 pounds
The mean weight gain for women during a full-term pregnancy is $30.2$ pounds. The standard deviation of weight gain for this group is $9.9$ pounds, and the shape of the distribution of weight gains is symmetric and unimodal. (Source: BMJ 2016; 352 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.i555) a. State the weight gain for women one standard deviation below the mean and for one standard deviation above the mean. b. Is a weight gain of 35 pounds more or less than one standard deviation from the mean?
