Practice Question
A nurse is obtaining information about social determinants of health from a new client during their first prenatal visit. For which of the following responses by the client should the nurse seek more information?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
I just moved here and don't know anyone. And my partner recently ended our relationship."
Rationale:
🔶 This response indicates potential issues with social isolation and lack of emotional support, which are key social determinants of health that can negatively affect both maternal and fetal outcomes.
🔶 Limited social connections can increase a pregnant client’s risk for stress, anxiety, depression, poor prenatal follow-up, and difficulty accessing community resources.
🔶 The nurse should further assess the client’s support system, safety, living situation, and access to transportation or financial stability to identify possible interventions.
🔶 Connecting the client to support groups, counseling services, or social work referrals can help promote emotional well-being and ensure a healthy pregnancy environment.
🔶 Addressing social determinants early enables nurses to provide holistic, person-centered care that supports both the physical and psychosocial needs of the client.
