From A Social Worker At Some Time During Her Pregnancy, But A Referral
To A Social Worker Is Not The Most Important Aspect The NURSE Should
Address At This Time. If The Woman Has Identifiable High-Risk Problems,

Issues. In Addition, Advising The Woman To See An Obstetrician Is Not The
Most Important Aspect On Which The NURSE Should Focus At This Time,
And It Is Not Appropriate For A NURSE To Advise Or Manage The Type Of
Care A Client Is To Receive.
