80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




infant, which factor is the most important for the nurse to consider?
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




a. African-Americanrace 80




b. Cigarettesmoking 80




c. Poor nutritional status 80 80




d. Limitedmaternal education 80 80




ANS: A 8 0




The rise in the overall LBW rates were due to increases in LBW births to non-Hispanic black
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




women (13.35%) and Hispanic women (7.21%); non-Hispanic black infants are almost twice as
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80

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
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




factor in potential infant mortality rates, but it is not the most important. Additionally, maternal

2. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on current
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




statistics for infant mortality, which intervention is most important for the nurse to include in the
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




client’s plan of care?
80 80 80 80




a. Perform anutrition assessment. 80 80 80




b. Referthe woman to a social worker. 80 80 80 80 80 80




c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife. 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




d. Explainto the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments. 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80

Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80

80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance from a
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-risk
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




assumed that all African-American women have high-risk issues. In addition, advising the
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspect on which the nurse should focus at
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or manage the type of care a client is to
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80

assessment of a 21-year-old Hispanic client with limited English proficiency. Which
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




intervention is the most important for the nurse to implement?
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




a. Use maternityjargon to enable the client to become familiarwith these terms.
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




b. Speak quickly and efficiently to expeditethe visit. 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




c. Providethe client with handouts. 80 80 80 80




d. Assesswhether the client understands the discussion. 80 80 80 80 80 80




ANS: D 8 0




Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words, avoiding jargon, and
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




evaluating whether the client understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and clearly and
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




focusing on what is important will increase understanding. Most client education materials are
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




written at a level too high for the average adult and may not be useful for a client with limited

Contemporary maternity nursing focuses on the family’s needs and desires. Fathers, partners, 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




grandparents, and siblings maybe present forthe birthand participate inactivities such as cutting

the baby’s umbilical cord. Both midwives and physicians perform vaginal deliveries. Free-
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




standing clinics are an example of alternative birth options. Contemporary maternity nursing is
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




driven by the relationship between nurses and their clients.

80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




have a legitimate legal case for negligence?

d. Clientrefused electronicfetal monitoring. 80 80 80 80




ANS: C 8 0




Not meeting the standard of care is a legitimate factor for a case of negligence. An inexperienced

beyond 40 weeks of gestation. Although fetal monitoring isthe standard of care, the client has the
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




right to refuse treatment. This refusal is not a case for negligence, but informed consent should
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




be properly obtained, and the client should have signed an against medical advice form when

refusing any treatment that is within the standard of care.

d. First consult the agency procedure manual 80 80 80 80 80




ANS: D 8 0




Following the agency’s policies and procedures manual is always best when seeking 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




information on correct client procedures. These policies should reflect the current standards of
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




care and the individual state’s guidelines. Each nurse is responsible for his or her own practice.
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




Relying on another nurse may not always be a safe practice. Each nurse is obligated to follow the
80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




standards of care for safe client care delivery. Physicians are responsible for their own client care

80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80




activities that they, as nurses, are to carry out. Information provided ina nursingtextbookis basic

the current standard of care or the individual state or hospital policies.
