4. An Indigenous patient is pregnant with their first child. Which evidence-
am am am am am am am am am am



informed intervention is most important for the nurse to implement?
am am am am am am am am am



a. Perform a nutrition assessment. am am am



b. Refer the patient to a social worker. am am am am am am



c. Advise the patient to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
am am am am am am am am am



d. Explain to the patient the importance of keeping their prenatal care appointments.
am am am am am am am am am am am




ANS: D am



Consistent prenatal care is associated with healthier infants. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am



most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may need assistance from a social worker at some time d
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am



uring the pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am



patient has identifiable high-
am am am am



risk problems, their health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be assumed that all Indigenous pati
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am



ents have high-
am am



risk issues. In addition, advising the patient to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspect on which the nurse should fo
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am



cus at this time.

am am am am am am am am am am am am am



a. Education and literacy am am

c. Employment and working conditions am am am



d. Biology and genetic endowment am am am




ANS: B am



Income and social status has the greatest influence on health status and behaviours and use of health care services. Lower-
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am



income Canadians have poorer health, with more chronic illness and earlier death, than that of higher-
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am
