Chapter 01: 21st Century Maternity and Women’s Heal th Nursing Lowdermilk: Maternity and Women’s Health Care, 13th Edition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. In evaluating the level of a pregnant woman’s risk o f 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 ANS: A The rise in the overall LBW rates was due to increa ses in LBW births to non-Hispanic black women (13.35%) and Hispanic women (7.21%); non-Hisp anic 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 i s an important factor in potential infant mortality rates, but it is not the most important. A dditionally, smoking is a modifiable risk factor. Poor nutrition is an important factor in pot ential 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 mortalit y rates, but it is not the most important. Additionally, maternal education is a modifiable ri sk factor. DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding TOP: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance, Antepartum Care 2. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant wit h 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. Refe r the woman to a social worker. c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midw ife. d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her p renatal care appointments. ANS: D Consistent prenatal care is the best method of prevent ing or controlling risk factors associated with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an impo rtant modifiable risk factor, but it is not the most important action a nurse should take in this s ituation. The client may need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnan cy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should addr ess at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-risk problems, then her health car e may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be assumed that all African-Ameri can 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.
