Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goals for pregnant women with special needs focus on teaching unintentional injury prevention, the dangers and complications of substance dependency, and both the psychological and physical concerns of teenage pregnancy. The nurse should include the topics that focus on alcohol, illicit drugs, and cigarette smoking. An adequate fluid intake is not a topic specific to a pregnant woman with special needs. The use of complementary therapy for delivery might not be appropriate for a pregnant adolescent because of cephalopelvic disproportion.
