A) Testing for rubella
B) The need to limit vitamin A intake
C) Importance of ingesting zinc
D) Avoiding foods high in folic acid
Answer: A
Clients who are considering pregnancy should be advised of the importance of testing for rubella, which can cause vision impairments in newborns. Zinc is not known to prevent sensory impairments in newborns. Limiting vitamin A and avoiding foods high in folic acid could lead to developmental deficits in the newborn and should not be recommended to the client.
