Robert and Nadine both have been laid off. The couple has inadequate access to food or health care. When they realize that Nadine is pregnant, they feel desperate, and they talk to a social worker at a local clinic about their situation. The social worker is able to provide them with referrals to a food outlet, but she is unable to find a prenatal care clinic that provides free services in their neighborhood. Considering the effects of multiple risk factors, what is the most likely potential value of the social worker’s efforts? Group of answer choices

a. The fewer risk factors the better, so their unborn child is likely to be better off even with the limited help the social worker provided.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. The fewer risk factors the better, so their unborn child is likely to be better off even with the limited help the social worker provided.

b. Their unborn child is not likely to be benefited by eliminating only one risk factor.

c. The unborn child might have been benefited if prenatal care were found, but improving prenatal nutrition is not important.

d. The health care and stress factors will only be important after the child is born.

In this example, the social worker is not able to help Robert and Nadine with all their problems. The couple still needs to find work and prenatal care. However, the social worker was able to help them find enough food to eat. Although the baby still faces some risks, the fewer risks, the better. Therefore, he is still better off than he was before thanks to the limited help of the social worker.

the answer is a. monarch
