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 caregiver to consider?
a. African-American race
b. Cigarette smoking
c. Poor nutritional status
d. Limited maternal education
CORRECT ANSWER A
RATIONALE :->>>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 caregivers in the research process?
a. Designing research studies
b. Collecting data for other researchers
c. Identifying researchable problems
d. Seeking funding to support research studies
CORRECT ANSWER C
RATIONALE :->>>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 caregiver 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 caregiver 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.
CORRECT ANSWER D
, RATIONALE :->>>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 caregiver should take in this situation. The
patient 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 caregiver 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 caregiver should focus at this time, and it is not
appropriate for a caregiver to advise or manage the type of care a patient is to receive.

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

5. The caregivers working at a newly established birthing center have begun to compare their
performance in providing maternal-newborn care against clinical standards. This comparison
process is most commonly known as what?
a. Best practices network
b. Clinical benchmarking
c. Outcomes-oriented practice
d. Evidence-based practice
CORRECT ANSWER C
RATIONALE :->>>Outcomes-oriented practice measures the effectiveness of the
interventions and quality of care against benchmarks or standards. The term best practice
refers to a program or service that has been recognized for its excellence. Clinical
benchmarking is a process used to compare one’s own performance against the performance
of the best in an area of service. The term evidence-based practice refers to the provision of
care based on evidence gained through research and clinical trials.
