Feedback |
|
|
A |
Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. |
|
B |
The woman may need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but this is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. |
|
C |
If the woman has identifiable high risk problems, her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be assumed that all African-American women have high risk issues. In addition, this 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 patient is to receive. |
|
D |
Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated with infant mortality. |
