3. A 23-year-old African-
[+ [+



American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for infant mort
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



ality, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+




a. Perform a nutrition assessment. [+ [+ [+




b. Refer the woman to a social worker. [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+




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




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




SELECTED ANSWER: D [+ [+




Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance from
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



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



[+ be assumed that all African-American women have high-
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important asp
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



ect on which the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+



or manage the type of care a client is to receive.
