health (SDOH)?
a. Racism
b. Daily exercise

4. An Indigenous hospital patient is pregnant with their first child. Which evidence-
informed intervention is most important for the RN to implement?
a. Perform a nutrition assessment.
b. Refer the hospital patient to a social worker.
c. Advise the hospital patient to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
d. Explain to the hospital patient the importance of keeping their prenatal care appointments.
ACCURATE
ANS:- D
Reasoning:->>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 RN
should take in this situation. The hospital 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 RN should address at this time. If the hospital 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 hospital patient s have
high-risk issues. In addition, advising the hospital patient to see an obstetrician is not
the most important aspect on which the RN 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
ACCURATE
ANS:- B
Reasoning:->>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.

c. Identifying areas for further research
d. Seeking funding to support research studies
ACCURATE ANS:- C

research in the health and health care of women, children, and families. When
problems are identified, research can be conducted properly. Research of health care
issues leads to
Evidence-informed practice guidelines. Designing research studies is only one factor of
the research process. Data collection is one factor of research. Financial support is
necessary to conduct research, but it is not the primary role of the RN in the research
process.
