When preparing nutritional instruction, which pregnant client should the nurse consider the highest priority?
1. 40-year-old gravida 2
2. 35-year-old gravida 4
3. 15-year-old nulligravida
4. 22-year-old primigravida
3
Explanation:
1. The 40-year-old client has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
2. The 35-year-old client has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
3. Adolescent clients 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.
4. The 22-year-old client has completed her growth cycle, and her body can focus on diverting the nutritional needs to the fetus.
