  1. In evaluating the level of a pregnant womans 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
    For African-American births, the incidence of LBW infants is twice that of Caucasian births. Race is a
    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 factor.

    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.

    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
      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.

      1. 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 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.

      2. The nurses working at a newly established birthing center have begun to compare their
        performance in providing maternal-newborn care against clinical standards. This comparison
        process is most commonly known as what?
        a. Best practices network
        b. Clinical benchmarking
        c. Outcomes-oriented practice
        d. Evidence-based practice

        Outcomes-oriented practice measures the effectiveness of the interventions and quality 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 ones own
        performance against the performance of the best in an area of service. The term evidence-based
        practice refers to the provision of care based on evidence gained through research and clinical
        trials.

        1. Which statement best exemplifies contemporary maternity nursing?
          a. Use of midwives for all vaginal deliveries
          b. Family-centered care
          c. Free-standing birth clinics
          d. Physician-driven care
          ANS: B
          Contemporary maternity nursing focuses on the familys needs and desires. Fathers, partners,
          grandparents, and siblings may be present for the birth and participate in activities such as
          cutting the babys umbilical cord. Both midwives and physicians perform vaginal deliveries.
          Free-standing clinics are an example of alternative birth options. Contemporary maternity
          nursing is driven by the relationship between nurses and their clients.

          labor for 43 hours. The baby died 3 days later from sepsis. On what grounds could the woman
          have a legitimate legal case for negligence?
