1) An APRN is working in a regional perinatal center, coordinating nursing care provided to high-risk obstetric patients. The APRN knows that there are racial and ethnic disparities in maternal mortality.
Where could the APRN go to find information on maternal mortality disparities?
2) What SDOH are associated with maternal mortality?
3) How might an APRN participate in local efforts to reduce maternal mortality rates in the population level?
4) Which principles of ethics would guide the APRN’s attempts to support maximizing benefits to the undeserved maternal population protect such vulnerable groups? Why?
