Problem: Family Nurse Practitioner Case Study Researchers collected data from a local pediatrician's office to determine factors associated with poor weight gain among newborns. A survey was sent to the parents of 400 newborns who were clients over the past year, of which 100 parents responded, for a response rate of 25%. Researchers noticed that about 70% of the responses were from parents of females, but the town infants seen at the hospital were 50% female and 50% male. The respondents decided to focus on determining whether three factors were different between infants who had healthy weight gain and those who gained less than the ideal amount of weight (variable 1), maternal age (variable 2), infant gender (variable 3), and weight at birth (measured in kilograms) (variable 4).
