Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Families without health insurance have difficulty obtaining routine health care as the emergency room is often the only option for medical care.Therefore ineffective health maintenance related to lack of access to medical care is the priority nursing diagnosis.There is nothing to demonstrate that the family is unable to accept health status.Readiness for enhanced immunization status is not appropriate as the family has difficulty obtaining routine health care.The use of the emergency room for medical care does not demonstrate health-seeking behaviors.
