The client is attending a clinic held in a church basement for her prenatal care. The client's care is provided by registered nurses and a certified nurse-midwife. This type of prenatal care is an example of:
1. Secondary care.
2. Tertiary care.
3. Community care.
4. Unnecessarily costly care.
3
Rationale:
1. Secondary care is specialized care; an example is checking the hemoglobin A1C of a diabetic at an endocrine clinic.
2. Tertiary care is very specialized, and includes trauma units and neonatal intensive care units.
3. Prenatal care is primary care. Community care is often provided at clinics in neighborhoods to facilitate access by clients to primary care, including prenatal care and prevention of illness.
4. Community care decreases costs while improving client outcomes, and is not unnecessarily expensive.
