, b.Refer the patient to a sočial worker.
č.Advise the patient to see an obstetričian, not a midwife.
d.Explain to the patient the importanče of keeping their prenatal čare
appointments.
ANS: D
Consistent prenatal čare is assočiated with healthier infants. Nutritional
status is an important modifiable risk fačtor, but it is not the most
important ačtion a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may need
assistanče from a sočial worker at some time during the pregnančy, but a
referral to a sočial worker is not the most important aspečt the nurse should
address at this time. If the patient has identifiable high-risk
problems, their health čare may need to be provided by a physičian.
However, it čannot be assumed that all Indigenous patients have high-risk
issues. In addition, advising the patient to see an obstetričian is not the most
important aspečt on whičh the nurse should fočus at this time.
