MULTIPLE CHOICE
In evaluating the level of a pregnant woman risk of having a low-birth-weight (LBW) infant, which factor is the most
important for the Nurse to consider?
African-American race
Cigarette smoking
Poor nutritional status
Limited maternal education
SOLUTION:A
For African-American births, the incidence of LBW infants is twice that of Caucasian births. 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.

What is the primary role of practicing Nurses in the research process?
Designing research studies
Collecting data for other researchers
Identifying researchable problems
, Seeking funding to support research studies
SOLUTION:C
When problems are identified, research can be properly conducted. Research of health care issues leads to evidence-
based practice guidelines. Designing research studies is only one factor of the research process. Data collection is
another factor of research. Financial support is necessary to conduct research, but it is not the primary role of the
Nurse in the research process.

N/AMSC: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment
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?
Perform a nutrition assessment.
Refer the woman to a social worker.
Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
SOLUTION: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 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.
