Feedback:
Critical population health indicators that affect childbearing women, infant, toddler, and preschool
populations globally and in the United States include maternal mortality rate, infant mortality rate,
HIV/AIDS, and fetal alcohol syndrome. Crude mortality rate does not apply specifically to childbearing
women, infant, toddler, and preschool populations.
Which one of the following statements about low-birth-weight and very-low-birth-weight babies is most
accurate?
A)
Low-birth-weight is more common in Whites and Hispanics than African Americans.
B)
Birth weight is one of the most important predictors of infant mortality.
C)
The incidence of low-birth-weight in the United States is decreasing in relation to the increase in
multiple births.
Recent trends in very-low-birth-weight babies show that they continue to have morbidity with
significant increases in survival. - answer✔Ans:
B
Feedback:
Birth weight is one of the most important predictors of infant mortality. Low birth weight is more
common in African Americans than in Whites and Hispanics. The overall incidence of low-birth-weight is
increasing slightly, which can be explained by increased multiple births.
A community health nurse is developing a program that would encourage mothers to use breast-feeding
exclusively for their babies' nutrition for the first 6 months. The nurse bases this program on the
understanding about which of the following?
A)Exclusive breast-feeding promotes better growth and development.
B)Its lower cost provides more money for other needed items.
C)Infant mortality would significantly decrease.
D) It would aid in decreasing maternal mortality rates. - answer✔Ans:
C
Feedback:
Approximately 1.3 million infants would survive annually if mothers were able to exclusively breast-feed
their infants for 6 months. The lack of breast-feeding is related to decreased survival and increased
morbidity from infections, lower intelligence test scores, increased cardiac risk factors, and inadequate
nutrition. The superiority of breast milk and lower costs would not be factors for developing a
community health program for breast-feeding. Exclusive breast-feeding is not associated with
decreasing maternal mortality rates.
A community health nurse is integrating the Healthy People 2010 goals into suggested programs for a
local community. Which of the following goals would the nurse identify as having been met?
A)Reduction in low-birth-weight infants
B)Reduction in total preterm births
C)Increase in the number of infants put to sleep on their backs
D)Increased proportion of mothers breast- feeding at 6 months - answer✔Ans:
C
