Nutritional Status Is An Important Modifiable Risk Factor, But It
Is Not The Most Important Action A Nurse Should Take In This
Situation. The Patient May Need Assistance From A Social

To A Social Worker Is Not The Most Important Aspect The
Nurse Should Address At This Time. If The Patient Has
Identifiable High-Risk Problems, Their Health Care May Need
To Be Provided By A Physician. However, It Cannot Be
Assumed That All Indigenous Patients Have High-Risk Issues. In
Addition, Advising The Patient To See An Obstetrician Is Not
The Most Important Aspect On Which The Nurse Should Focus
At This Time.
