zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



tality, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd




a. Perform a nutrition assessment. zd zd zd

zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd




d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd




SELECTED ANSWER: D zd zd




Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance from
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



-
risk problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it canno
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



t be assumed that all African-American women have high-
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important as
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



pect on which the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advis
zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd zd



e or manage the type of care a client is to receive.
