Abstract

In the provision of prenatal care it is essential that information be shared with pregnant women in an appropriate and effective fashion. Nurse-practitioners and nurse-midwives providing care to women in clinics or offices are concerned with providing relevant instruction in the context of a busy practice or crowded clinic. A priority of information-sharing is proposed in order that the practitioner might capitalize on short encounters with prenatal patients. With the knowledge of what information might be appropriate for a woman at a certain point during her pregnancy, the nurse can plan to incorporate specific instructions as she assesses the woman's needs during a prenatal visit and reflect on the priority of information needed along with the realities of time available.
