The patient with a normal pre-pregnancy weight asks why she has been told to gain 2535 pounds during her pregnancy, but her underweight friend was told to gain more weight.
 
  The nurse should tell the patient that recommended weight gain during pregnancy should be: 1. 2535 pounds, regardless of a patient's pre-pregnant weight.
  2. More than 2535 pounds for an overweight patient.
  3. More than 2535 pounds for an underweight woman.
  4. The same for a normal-weight woman as for an overweight woman.

Rationale:
1. Pre-pregnant weight determines the recommended weight gain during pregnancy. Women of normal weight should gain 2535 pounds during pregnancy for optimal fetal outcome.
2. Overweight women should gain 1525 pounds during pregnancy.
3.
Underweight women are encouraged to gain the amount of weight needed to bring them to normal body weight plus 2535 pounds.
4. Overweight women should gain 1525 pounds during pregnancy.
