the child-bearing year.
d. They provide care for families with children up to age 18 years.

Perinatal nurses are those nurses who work collaboratively with patients
and families from the preconception period throughout the child-bearing
year. Pediatric nurses care for children from birth up to age 18 years.
Perinatal or pediatric nurses also provide care for the family. Perinatal
nurses often do have advanced education, but this is not a requirement.

social determinants of health (SDOH)?
a. Racism

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.

5.Which social determinant of health has the greatest influence on
health status and behaviours?
a. Education and literacy
b. Income and social status
c. Employment and working conditions
d. Biology and genetic endowment
ANS: b
Income and social status has the greatest influence on health status and
behaviours and use of health care services. Lower-income Canadians
have poorer health, with more chronic illness and earlier death, than that
of higher-income Canadians, regardless of age, gender, culture, race, or
residence.

6. Which is an example of invisible poverty?
a. Insufficient clothing

Invisible poverty refers to social and cultural deprivation, such as limited
employment opportunities, inferior educational opportunities, lack of or
inferior medical services and health care facilities, and an absence of
public services. Visible poverty refers to lack of money or material
resources, which includes insufficient clothing, poor sanitation, and
deteriorating housing.
