MULTIPLE CHOICE
ST
1. In evaluating the level of a pregnant woman’s risk of having a low-birth-weight (LBW) infant,
which factor is the most important for the nurse to consider?
a. African-American race
b. Cigarette smoking
c. Poor nutritional status
UV
d. Limited maternal education
ANS: A
The rise in the overall LBW rates was due to increases in LBW births to non-Hispanic black
women (13.35%) and Hispanic women (7.21%); non-Hispanic black infants are almost twice
as likely as non-Hispanic white infants to be of LBW and to die in the first year of life. Race

is a nonmodifiable 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.

2. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on current
statistics for infant mortality, which intervention is most important for the nurse to include in
the client’s plan of care?
a. Perform a nutrition assessment.
PR
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.
ANS: D
OV
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.
ED
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 aspect 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.
