4. An Indigenous Patient Is Pregnant With Their First Child. Which
Evidence-Informed Intervention Is Most Important For The Nurse To
Implement?
a. Perform A Nutrition Assessment.
b. Refer The Patient To A Social Worker.
c. Advise The Patient To See An Obstetrician, Not A Midwife.
d. Explain To The Patient The Importance Of Keeping Their Prenatal
Care Appointments.
Correct Answer: D
Consistent Prenatal Care Is Associated With Healthier Infants.
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
Worker At Some Time During The Pregnancy, But A Referral
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.
