ANSWER: D
Consistent Prenatal Care Is The Best Method Of Preventing Or Controlling Risk Factors
Associated With Infant Mortality. Nutritional Status Is An Important Modifiable Risk Factor, ButIt
Is Not The Most Important Action A Nurse Should Take In This Situation. The Client May Need
Assistance From A Social Worker At Some Time During Her Pregnancy, But A Referral To A
SocialWorker Is Not The Most Important Aspect The Nurse Should Address At This Time. If The
Woman Has Identifiable High-Risk Problems, Then Her Health Care May Need To Be Provided
By A Physician. However, It Cannot Be Assumed That All African-American Women Have High-
RiskIssues. In Addition, Advising The Woman To See An Obstetrician Is Not The Most Important
Aspect On Which The Nurse Should Focus At This Time, And It Is Not Appropriate For A Nurse
To Advise Or Manage The Type Of Care A Client Is To Receive.
