Passage / Scenario
Client regarding how to reduce the risk of giving birth to a newborn who has a neural tube defectWhich of the following instructions by the nurse is appropriate?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Eat foods fortified with folic acid. This instruction is appropriate because folic acid is crucial during pregnancy for preventing birth defects. Iron intake (A) is important too, but not the most appropriate here. Aspirin avoidance (C) is relevant due to its potential risks. Limiting alcohol (D) is important, but not as critical as folic acid. The other choices are not applicable or less crucial in this context.
