CHAPTER 1
1. Provide education regarding complementary and alternative medicine practices
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practices encompasses the use of medical products
and employing medical practices which fall outside the accepted standards of medical practice and
medical care. These products and practices are usually used together with conventional medical
treatment. While the use of CAM was initially linked to low-income countries and regions, its use has
seen increasing use even in developing countries. Some authors agree that “The exploration of
complementary and alternative medicine topics in the medical school curriculum helps to elucidate
the complex and uncertain nature of medical practice, sharpens skills for clinical decision-making,
increases cultural sensitivity, and provides ideas for future research.” (Institute of Medicine (US)
Committee on the Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by the American Public.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States. Washington (DC): National
Academies Press (US), 2005)

6. Compare and contrast morbidity vs. mortality
Morbidity generally refers to the state of having a certain condition or illness that usually chronic.
Examples of common illnesses and conditions related to morbidity include obesity, heart disease,
diabetes and cancer. Meanwhile, mortality refers to the number of deaths that occur due to a
certain event, condition or illness for a specific period of time. Mortality is often expressed in rates
which is a ratio of mortality to a given population. (Seladi-Schulman, 2020)
7. Analyze trends in maternal, infant, and child epidemiology (including health disparities)
Global and local trends in maternal, infant, and child epidemiology (including health disparities) show
interesting trends after an epidemiological analysis. Globally, there is continuous emergence of novel
issues and diseases which a nurse must understand. In the case of maternal morbidity and mortality,
CDC data shows that the maternal death rate lies at 16.9 per 100,000 live births. This rate remains
nearly constant over the past few years. It includes cases during pregnancy (31%), during delivery and
a week after (36%), and 1 week or 1 year post-partum (33%). The five leading causes are other
cardiovascular conditions, other non-cardiovascular conditions, infection or sepsis, cardiomyopathy,
and hemorrhage. Surprisingly, 3 to 5 of these cases are preventable.

Infant and child mortality is defined as the death of an infant or child within the first year of birth.
Globally, the US ranks at 52nd position, while some low-income countries rank higher. However, the
rate varies greatly from state to state with Mississippi ranking worst (8.3 per 1000) while New
Hampshire the best (3.8 per 1000). The leading causes of infant mortality in the US are birth defects,
preterm and low birth weight, maternal pregnancy and complications, sudden infant death syndrome,
and injuries that may arise from suffocation and strangulation. Nurses need to ensure preventive
measures are implemented in the preconception phase, and the prevention of accidents and
unintentional injuries especially firearms and the use of seat belts.

Other than that, there are racial inequalities in maternal mortality rates from 2011 to 2016.
Specifically, black non-Hispanic mothers had a mortality rate of 42.4% for every 100,000 births.


The rate of mortality among non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native mothers is 30.4% for
every 100,000 live births.

Asian and Pacific Islander non-Hispanic mothers had a mortality rate of 14.1% per 100,000 live births.

white non-Hispanic mothers had a mortality rate of 13.0 per per 100,000 births.

Hispanic mothers had a mortality rate of 11.3% for every 100,000 births (CDC, 2019).
