To give the pregnant adolescent a role in her prenatal care, the nurse could allow her to:
1. Choose the type of prenatal vitamin she takes.
2. Measure and record her weight at each visit.
3. Choose the schedule of her prenatal visits.
4. Decide if she wants her labor to be induced.
2
Rationale:
1. Prenatal vitamins are prescribed by the certified nurse, midwife, or the physician. Many formulations exist, and some might not be indicated for this client due to her nutritional practices and lab results. In addition, if the client is a member of a health maintenance organization, only certain medications (including prenatal vitamins) are accepted for coverage.
2. Having the client weigh herself and record her weight involves her in the prenatal care
3. Prenatal visit schedules are set to detect developing complications of pregnancy.
4. Induction of labor is a medical decision, and should not be taken lightly.
