Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: One role of the nurse is to explain why food is important to the growing fetus, specifying how each food group will help the fetus develop. However this is not the priority diagnosis.
Rationale 2: Teens might not understand the physiology behind the profound body changes of pregnancy. Pregnant adolescents are just adapting to a new body image created by the changes of puberty when the pregnancy produces rapid and substantial body changes. The desire to maintain a socially desirable figure can lead to nutritional deficits.
Rationale 3: The desire to maintain a socially desirable figure can lead to nutritional deficits. Adolescents are concerned about body image, but this is not the priority diagnosis.
Rationale 4: Although many teens are anxious, this is not the priority diagnosis.
