Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The patient should aim for slow,steady weight loss such as 1 pound per week for the next 6 weeks.Fashion strategies to enhance appearance and adaptation to body changes from pregnancy are appropriate for the altered body image nursing diagnosis.There is no mention of abnormal liver enzymes so the patient would not have a goal of regaining normal liver enzymes.
