Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clients with learning disabilities may require more time to understand information and may have difficulty processing large amounts of information at once. Therefore, the nurse should provide information in small increments and avoid rushing through the examination. Additionally, the nurse should ask if the client has any questions to ensure understanding. Asking about financial assistance or suggesting social services may not be appropriate for first prenatal visits and may be handled by a social worker or case manager.
