Multiple Choice
1. In Evaluating The Level Of A Pregnant Woman’s Risk Of Having A Low-Birth-Weight (Lbw)
Infant, Which Factor Is The Most Important For The Nurse To Consider?
A. African-American Race
B. Cigarette Smoking
C. Poor Nutritional Status
D. Limited Maternal Education
Ans: A
The Rise In The Overall Lbw Rates Were Due To Increases In Lbw Births To Non-Hispanic Black
Women (13.35%) And Hispanic Women (7.21%); Non-Hispanic Black Infants Are Almost Twice As
Likely As Non-Hispanic White Infants To Be Of Lbw And To Die In The First Year Of Life.. Race Is
A Nonmodifiable Risk Factor. Cigarette Smoking Is An Important Factor In Potential Infant
Mortality Rates, But It Is Not The Most Important. Additionally, Smoking Is A Modifiable Risk
Factor. Poor Nutrition Is An Important Factor In Potential Infant Mortality Rates, But It Is Not The
Most Important. Additionally, Nutritional Status Is A Modifiable Risk Factor. Maternal Education Is
An Important Factor In Potential Infant Mortality Rates, But It Is Not The Most Important.

2. A 23-Year-Old African-American Woman Is Pregnant With Her First Child. Based On
Current Statistics For Infant Mortality, Which Intervention Is Most Important For The Nurse To
Include In The Client’s Plan Of Care?
A. Perform A Nutrition Assessment.
B. Refer The Woman To A Social Worker.
C. Advise The Woman To See An Obstetrician, Not A Midwife.
D. Explain To The Woman The Importance Of Keeping Her Prenatal Care Appointments.
Ans: D
Consistent Prenatal Care Is The Best Method Of Preventing Or Controlling Risk Factors Associated
With Infant Mortality. Nutritional Status Is An Important Modifiable Risk Factor, But It Is Not The
Most Important Action A Nurse Should Take In This Situation. The Client May Need Assistance From
A Social Worker At Some Time During Her Pregnancy, But A Referral To A Social Worker Is Not
The Most Important Aspect The Nurse Should Address At This Time. If The Woman Has Identifiable
High-Risk Problems, Then Her Health Care May Need To Be Provided By A Physician. However, It
Cannot Be Assumed That All African-American Women Have High-Risk Issues. In Addition, Advising
The Woman To See An Obstetrician Is Not The Most Important Aspect On Which The Nurse Should
