The Newborn at Risk Lowdermilk: Maternity Nursing, 8th Edition Chapter 01: 21st Century Maternity Nursing: Culturally Competent, Family and Community Focused Test Bank MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for infant mortality, 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. ANS: D Feedback A Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. B The woman may need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but this is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. C If the woman has identifiable high risk problems, 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, this 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 patient is to receive. D Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated with infant mortality.
