A woman with a history of PKU tells the nurse that she has decided to try to become pregnant. Her serum phenylalanine level is 10 mg/dL. Which of the following is an appropriate response for the nurse to make?
 
  A) Think carefully about the decision. The child might be mentally retarded if she inherits your PKU, especially if your levels stay that high.
  B) It will be best if you cut back on meat, fish, and dairy products before you become pregnant to get your serum phenylalanine level down under 8 mg.
  C) It will be best if you cut back on vegetables and fruit before you become pregnant to get your serum phenylalanine level down under 8 mg.
  D) The baby won't be able to breast-feed. You know breast-feeding is really the best way to care for a newborn.
