A nurse is assisting in the plan of care for a client who is pregnant and has phenylketonuria (PKU). Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder where the body cannot break down the amino acid phenylalanine. During pregnancy, it is crucial to maintain low phenylalanine levels to prevent harm to the developing fetus.
