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.

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 Important Will Increase Understanding. Most Client
Education Materials Are Written At A Level Too High For The Average Adult And May Not
Be Useful For A Client With Limited English Proficiency.

D. Evidence-Based Practice

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.
