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

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

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
d. Seeking funding to support research studies
ANS: 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.
, ANS: 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.
ANS: 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
