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.
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.
ANSWER: 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.
