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
CORRECT ANSWER: A
For African-American births, the incidence of LBW infants is twice that of Caucasian births. 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. Additionally, maternal education is a modifiable risk factor.

2. What is the primary role of practicing nurses in the research process?
a. Designing research studies
b. Collecting data for other researchers
c. Identifying researchable problems
d. Seeking funding to support research studies
CORRECT ANSWER: C
When problems are identified, research can be properly conducted. Research of health care issues leads to
evidence-based practice guidelines. Designing research studies is only one factor of the research process. Data
collection is another factor of research. Financial support is necessary to conduct research, but it is not the
primary role of the nurse in the research process.

3. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for infant
mortality, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?
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.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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 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.
