d. Seeking funding to support research studies jo jo jo jo jo




SELECTED ANSWER: C jo jo




When problems are identified, research can be properly conducted. Research of health care issu

es leads to evidence-
jo jo jo



based practice guidelines. Designing research studies is only one factor of the research process.
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo



Data collection is another factor of research. Financial support is necessary to conduct research,

lity, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo

jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo




SELECTED ANSWER: D jo jo




Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated wi
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo



th infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the most
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo j



oimportant action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance from a socia
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo



l worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most imp
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo



ortant aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo



risk problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo jo



be assumed that all African-American women have high-
jo jo jo jo jo jo jo



risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspe

ct on which the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or

manage the type of care a client is to receive.
