MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. In evaluating the level of a pregnant woman’s 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
ANS: A
The rise in the overall LBW rates were due to increases in LBW births to non-
Hispanic black women (13.35%) and Hispanic women (7.21%); non-Hispanic
black infants are almost twice as likely as non-Hispanic white infants to be of
LBW and to die in the first year of life.. Race is a nonmodifiable risk factor.
Cigarette smoking is an important factor inpotential 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.

2. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child.
Based on currentstatistics for infant mortality, which intervention is most
important for the nurse to includein the client’s plan of care?
, 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, butit 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 socialworker 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-riskissues. 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.
