Maria is a 19-year-old student, attending her local community college and living independently for the first time. She hadn’t been feeling well so she went to the student health center for a check-up. The student health center performed a couple of tests that showed that Maria was two months pregnant. She also had iron deficiency anemia. Maria explained that, as a college student, funds were tight and she wasn’t always able to afford food. When she did purchase food, she bought whatever she could get the most of for the least amount of money. The nurse provided Maria with a list of resources to continue her medical care, as well as information on food programs available to Maria as a college student, expectant mother, and low-income individual. Before leaving, the nurse gave Maria a bottle of iron-rich prenatal vitamins and information on iron-rich foods. Maria was provided a checklist of calls to make to healthcare providers and assistance programs before her follow-up appointment at the student health center one week later. 1.
