MULTIPLE CHOICE
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
d. Limited maternal education
ANSWER;A
The rise in the overall LBW rates were 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.
