2. identify women who should not get pregnant.
3. encourage healthy lifestyles for families desiring pregnancy.
4. ensure that women know about prenatal care.

1. Incorrect. Preconception care does not ensure that pregnancy complications will not occur. In many cases, problems can be identified and treated and may not recur in subsequent pregnancies.
2. Incorrect. In many instances, counseling can allow behavior modification before damage is done, or a woman can make an informed decision about her willingness to accept potential hazards.
3. Correct. Preconception counseling guides couples on how to avoid unintended pregnan-cies, how to identify and manage risk factors in their lives and their environment, and how to identify healthy behaviors that promote the well-being of the woman and her potential fetus.
4. Incorrect. It is likely that if a woman is seeking preconception care, she is aware of pre-natal care.
