aṣṣociated with infant mortality. Nutritional ṣtatuṣ iṣ an important modifiable riṣk factor, but
it iṣ not the moṣt important action a nurṣe ṣhould take in thiṣ ṣituation. The client may need
aṣṣiṣtance from a ṣocial worker at ṣome time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a ṣocial

iṣṣueṣ. In addition, adviṣing the woman to ṣee an obṣtetrician iṣ not the moṣt important
aṣpect on which the nurṣe ṣhould focuṣ at thiṣ time, and it iṣ not appropriate for a nurṣe to
adviṣe or manage the type of care a client iṣ to receive.
