3. Which of the following would not be included in a discussion of the social determinants of health (SDOH)?
a. Racism
b. Daily exercise
c. Chronic illness

4. An Indigenous patient is pregnant with their first child. Which evidence-informed intervention is most important for the nurse to
implement?
a. Perform a nutrition assessment.
b. Refer the patient to a social worker.
c. Advise the patient to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
d. Explain to the patient the importance of keeping their prenatal care appointments.
ANS: D
Consistent prenatal care is associated with healthier infants. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the
most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may need assistance from a social worker at some time
during the pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the
patient has identifiable high-risk problems, their health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be
assumed that all Indigenous patients have high-risk issues. In addition, advising the patient to see an obstetrician is not the most
important aspect on which the nurse should focus at this time.

gender, culture, race, or residence.

c. Identifying areas for further research
d. Seeking funding to support research studies

factor of research. Financial support is necessary to conduct research, but it is not the primary role of the nurse in the research
