When preparing nutritional instruction, which of the following pregnant patients would the nurse consider highest priority?
1. 40-year-old gravida 2
2. 22-year-old primigravida
3. 35-year-old gravida 4
4. 15-year-old nulligravida
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The 40-year-old has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
Rationale 2: The 22-year-old has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
Rationale 3: The 35-year-old has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
Rationale 4: Adolescent patients typically are still in their own growth cycle. Suddenly, they have to supply nutrition for themselves and the fetus. This places them at greatest risk for malnutrition.
