mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




SELECTED ANSWER: D mi mi




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



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



e most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance fr
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi



om a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is no
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi



t the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiab
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi



le high-
mi



risk problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it can
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi



not be assumed that all African-American women have high-
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi



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