Answer 1

a. Begin tests to determine the cause of the bleeding while asking about other family concerns from nutrition to shelter for the night.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to provide comprehensive, family-centered, one-stop services. Providing multiple services during a single clinic visit is an example of one-stop services. If social and economic assistance are provided and included in interdisciplinary treatment plans, services can be more responsive to the combined effects of social and economic stressors on the health of special population groups
