weight (LBW) infant, which factor is the most important for the nurse to consider?
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi




a. African-American race vi




b. Cigarette smoking vi




c. Poor nutritional status vi vi




d. Limited maternal education vi vi




SELECTED ANSWER: A vi vi




For African-
vi



American births, the incidence of LBW infants is twice that of Caucasian births. Race is a nonm

odifiable risk factor. Cigarette smoking is an important factor in potential infant mortality rates,
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



but it is not the most important. Additionally, smoking is a modifiable risk factor. Poor nutrition i

vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi




d. Seeking funding to support research studies vi vi vi vi vi




SELECTED ANSWER: C vi vi




When problems are identified, research can be properly conducted. Research of health care issu
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



es leads to evidence-
vi vi vi



based practice guidelines. Designing research studies is only one factor of the research process.
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



Data collection is another factor of research. Financial support is necessary to conduct research,

3. A 23-year-old African-
vi vi



American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for infant morta
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



lity, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi




a. Perform a nutrition assessment. vi vi vi




b. Refer the woman to a social worker. vi vi vi vi vi vi




c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi




d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi




SELECTED ANSWER: D vi vi




Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated wi
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



th infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the most
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi v



iimportant action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance from a socia
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



l worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most imp
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



ortant aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



risk problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



be assumed that all African-American women have high-
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspe
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



ct on which the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



manage the type of care a client is to receive.

old Hispanic client with limited English proficiency. Which action is the most important for the n

urse to perform?vi vi




a. Use maternity jargon to enable the client to become familiar with these terms.

b. Speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit.
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi




c. Provide the client with handouts. vi vi vi vi




d. Assess whether the client understands the discussion.
vi vi vi vi vi vi




SELECTED ANSWER: D vi vi




Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words, avoiding jargon, and evalu
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



ating whether the client understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and clearly and focusing on
vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi vi



what is important will increase understanding. Most client education materials are written at a le
