ANS: A, B, D

Lack of transportation to visits, lack of childcare, and lack of affordable health

insurance are prohibitive factors

associated with lack of prenatal care. House calls are not a cost-effective

approach to health care. Although job

training may result in employment and income, the likelihood of significant

changes during the time frame of

the pregnancy is remote.
