2. What is the primary role of practicing nurses in the research
process?
a. Designing research studies

d. Incidence of low-birth-weight (LBW) infants
b. City, county, and state health departments provide annual reports
of births and deaths. Maternal and infant death rates are
particularly important because they reflect health outcomes that may

b. Are used by only a small number of American adults
c. Allow for more client autonomy
