which factor is the most important for the nurse to consider?
a. African-American race
b. Cigarette smoking

Race is a non-modifiable 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.

a. Designing research studieNs R I G B.C
b. Collecting data for other researchers

process.
