SELECTED ANSWER: C dr dr
When problems are identified, research can be properly conducted. Research of health care iss

Data collection is another factor of research. Financial support is necessary to conduct research

c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife. dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
SELECTED ANSWER: D dr dr
Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated w
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
ith infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the mo
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
st important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance from a so
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
cial worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most i
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
mportant aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
risk problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
be assumed that all African-American women have high-
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspe

ct 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.
