MULTIPLE CHOICE

a. In evaluating the level of a pregnant woman 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


SELECTED 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.

f. Collecting data for other researchers
g. Identifying researchable problems

, Maternity and Women’s Health Care, 13th Edition (Lowdermilk, 2024)


h. Seeking funding to support research studies


SELECTED 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.

c. 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?

i. Perform a nutrition assessment.
j. Refer the woman to a social worker.
k. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
l. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.


SELECTED 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.
