(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

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.

2. What is the primary role of practicing nurses in the research process?
a. Designing research studies
b. Collecting data for other researchers
c. Identifying researchable problems
d. Seeking funding to support research studies
CORRECT
ANSWER:
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.
