The nurse manager is examining the descriptive statistics of increasing teen pregnancy rates in the community.
 
  Which inferential statistical research question would the nurse manager find most useful in investigating the reasons for increased frequency of teen pregnancy? 1. What providers do pregnant teens see for prenatal care?
  2. What are the ages of the parents of pregnant teens in the community?
  3. Do pregnant teens drink caffeinated beverages?
  4. What do pregnant teens do for recreation?

Question 2

A newborn has been diagnosed with a disorder that occurs through an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The parents ask the nurse, Which of us passed on the gene that caused the disorder? The nurse tells them it was:
 
  1. The female.
  2. The male.
  3. Neither.
  4. Both.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Understanding which providers pregnant teens are most likely to seek out for prenatal care can lead to further investigation on why prenatal care with that provider is more acceptable to teens, which in turn can lead to greater understanding of the issue of teen pregnancy.
Rationale 2: A question about the age of parents of pregnant teens might prove useful in seeking causes of teen pregnancy, but it is not the most useful question in understanding the increased frequency of teen pregnancy.
Rationale 3: Whether pregnant teens drink caffeinated beverages gives no further insight into the issues of teen pregnancy.
Rationale 4: Understanding the recreational activities of pregnant teens would not lead to an understanding of the issues surrounding increasing teen pregnancy rates.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: It is not a sex-linked disorder or an abnormal chromosome disorder.
Rationale 2: It is not a sex-linked abnormality.
Rationale 3: In an autosomal recessive inherited disorder, both parents are carriers of the abnormal gene.
Rationale 4: In an autosomal recessive inherited disorder, both parents are carriers of the abnormal gene. It is not a sex-linked disorder or an abnormal chromosome disorder.
