The nurse in a free clinic is caring for a 1-year-old girl and her single mother. Which nursing intervention would most likely be needed initially? -Discussing family beliefs. -Providing a list of low-cost child care centres. -Assessing the child's nutritional status. -Obtaining food stamps for the family. Assessing the child's nutritional status. - A single mother using a free clinic probably means that the two are living in poverty. The child could be malnourished. This would affect all aspects of the child's growth and development. Obtaining food stamps may be a partial solution to a nutritional problem if this is confirmed following assessment. Family beliefs are important but not the first concern. Good child care promotes healthy growth and development. This can be addressed later.
