MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. In evaluating the level of a pregnant woman’s risk of 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
ANSWER: 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.

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
,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.

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
implement?
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.

4. During a prenatal intake interview, the nurse is in the process of obtaining an
initial assessment of a 21-year-old Hispanic client with limited English proficiency.
Which action is the most important for the nurse to perform?
A. Use maternity jargon to enable the client to become familiar with these
terms.
B. Speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit.
C. Provide the client with handouts.
D. Assess whether the client understands the discussion.
ANSWER: D
Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words, avoiding
jargon, and evaluating whether the client understands the discussion. Speaking
slowly and clearly and focusing on what is important will increase understanding.
Most client education materials are written at a level too high for the average adult
and may not be useful for a client with limited english proficiency.
