A nurse is providing nutritional teaching to a client who is at 10 weeks of gestation. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client understands the teaching?

Choice A reason: Choosing foods with saturated fat instead of monounsaturated fat is incorrect. Saturated fats increase cardiovascular risk and should be limited. Monounsaturated fats, such as those found in olive oil and avocados, are healthier options during pregnancy. Choice B reason: Consuming only 30 grams of protein per day is insufficient. Pregnant clients require about 71 grams of protein daily to support fetal growth, maternal tissue expansion, and increased blood volume. Choice C reason: Avoiding soft cheeses is correct because they can harbor Listeria monocytogenes, which poses a risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal infection. Pregnant clients should avoid unpasteurized dairy products to reduce infection risk. Choice D reason: Limiting caffeine intake to 500 mg per day is too high. The recommended limit is about 200 mg per day to reduce risks of miscarriage, low birth weight, and preterm birth.
