MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. 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
Feedback
A Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the most important action a nurse should take in this situation.
B The woman may need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but this is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time.
C If the woman has identifiable high risk problems, 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, this 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 patient is to receive.
D Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated with infant mortality.
