A nurse is caring for a client who is at 37 weeks of gestation and is being tested for group B streptococcus B-hemolytic (GBS). The client, who is multigravida and multipara with no history of GBS, asks the nurse why the test was not conducted earlier in her pregnancy.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
