Which client will most likely seek prenatal care?

Question

a. Janice, 15 years old, tells her friends, "I don't believe I am pregnant."
b. Carol, 28 years old, is in her second pregnancy and abuses drugs and alcohol.
c. Margaret, 20 years old, is in her first pregnancy and has access to a free prenatal clinic.
d. Glenda, 30 years old, is in her fifth pregnancy and delivered her last infant at home with the help of her mother and sister.

Answer 1

ANS: C
The client who acknowledges the pregnancy early, has access to health care, and has no reason to avoid health care is most likely to seek prenatal care. Being in denial about the pregnancy will prevent a client from seeking health care. Substance abusers are less likely to seek health care. Some women see pregnancy and birth as a natural occurrence and do not seek health care.
