The 2011 estimated infant mortality rate in the United States exceeds the infant mortality rate of several other developed countries, including Sweden, Japan, France, Germany, and Canada.
 
  Which research question most effectively explores variables that may potentially influence these statistics?
  1. What is the average age of healthcare providers in each country?
  2. What is the level of racial diversity in each country?
  3. What is the average age of children in each country?
  4. What is the level of awareness related to contraception in each country?

Question 2

The major focus of the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) involves:
 
  1. Conducting physical and psychosocial assessments, including history, physical examination, and certain diagnostic tests and procedures.
  2. Independently managing the care of women at low risk for complications during pregnancy and birth and the care of healthy newborns.
  3. Generating new research relevant to topics such as health care and administrative issues.
  4. Demonstrating leadership within his or her specialty and working to improve inpatient care both directly and indirectly.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The age of healthcare providers does provide insight as to national infant mortality rates.
Rationale 2: Racial background can impact infant mortality rates.
Rationale 3: The average age of children does not provide insight as to the rate of infant mortality.
Rationale 4: Awareness related to contraception has no direct impact on the survival of infants after birth.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Physical and psychosocial clinical assessment is the major focus of the nurse practitioner (NP), who provides care in many different clinical settings.
Rationale 2: The certified nurse-midwife (CNM) is qualified to provide independent care of the low-risk pregnant client while seeking physician consultation as needed.
Rationale 3: Nurse researchers have an advanced doctoral degree, typically a PhD, and assume a leadership role in generating new research.
Rationale 4: The CNS assumes a leadership role within his or her specialty and works to improve inpatient care both directly and indirectly.
