3. 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

a. Perform a nutrition assessment. II II II
b. Refer the woman to a social worker. II II II II II II

Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated

II with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the

II most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance from
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
II asocial worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the
I II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
II mostimportant aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-
I II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
risk problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
II be assumed that all African-American women have high-risk issues. In addition, advising the
II II II II II II II II II II II II
II woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspect on which the nurse should focus

II atthis time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or manage the type of care a client is to
