Doreen, a Maternal-Child Health Nurse Working in Sub-Saharan Africa, Has

Doreen, a maternal-child health nurse working in Sub-Saharan Africa, has joined a local team of nurses, and they are building a program to help improve access to perinatal care. Doreen and her colleagues learn that there is funding in place to provide low-cost and free contraceptives to women, but the unplanned pregnancy rate has not changed, despite the program being in effect for 2 years. What should be the team's first step?

A) Develop culturally relevant educational materials to distribute to women of childbearing age.
B) Conduct an outreach program to the communities to distribute contraceptives.
C) Host community focus groups with the communities they serve that include a cross-section of women to help learn about their views of contraceptives and the current program.
D) Begin looking for grants to increase funding so they can establish a women's health and family planning center in the community.
