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

ith infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the mo

st important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance from a so

cial worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most i
pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr



mportant aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-
pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr



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



be assumed that all African-American women have high-

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