A new mother asks the nurse if all of the new baby's injections can be given in one visit because the mother is losing income from missing work because of the office visits. What does this new mother's issue indicate to the nurse?
A) The mother needs to find an alternative employer.
B) The mother's income is more important that the baby's health.
C) Missing work does not support the baby's health maintenance visits.
D) The federal government needs to do more to support well-baby visits.
C
Feedback:
An area that needs additional research is finding effective stimuli to encourage women to bring children for health maintenance visits. The mother losing income because of missing work for well-baby visits will deter health maintenance visits for the baby going forward. This mother's issue does not indicate that the mother needs to find another job, that the mother's income is more important that the baby's health, or that the federal government needs to do more to support well-baby visits.
