Which of the following questions asked by the nurse is most appropriate to assess the client’s nutritional status?
  1. “Tell me more about your plans for your baby.”
  2. “How do you feel about this pregnancy?”
  3. “Do you have someone in your home to cook for you?”
  4. “Are there some recent changes in your eating patterns?”
Explanation
Answer - D - Asking the client about changes in her patterns can give the nurse a better idea on her nutritional status. Women below the age of 18 who are pregnant are more vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies and complications.
