Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A priority for this family is to provide information regarding shelters,to facilitate follow-up clinic visits for the mother to address her pregnancy and anemia,and to determine if the family is currently in a safe place or if the family is vulnerable to violence.Nutrition in pregnancy should be discussed,but it is not the priority intervention at this point.There is no reason to call the Department of Children and Family Services unless abuse is suspected.
