During the initial visit with a client who is beginning prenatal care, which action should be the highest priority for the nurse?
The first interview is a relaxed, get-acquainted affair during which the nurse gathers some general impressions of his or her new client.
The nurse should be alert to the appearance of potential parenting problems, such as depression or lack of family support.
Because of legal complications, the nurse should not ask about illegal drug use; that is left to the physician.
If the nurse observed handicapping conditions, he or she should be sensitive and not inquire about them because the client will do that in her own time.
