SELECTED ANSWER: D P! P!




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



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



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



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



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



risk problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot

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