MULTIPLE CHOICE ff
1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to hospital births in
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
the early 20th century?
ff ff ff ff
a. Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
b. Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births. ff ff ff ff ff ff
c. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
d. Technologic developments became available to physicians. ff ff f f ff
ANS: D ff
Technologic developments were available to physicians, not lay midwives. So in-hospital
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
births increased in order to take advantage of these advancements. Puerperal sepsis has
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
been a known problem for generations. In the late 19th century, Semmelweis discovered
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
how it could be prevented with improved hygienic practices. The development of forceps
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
is an example of a technology advance made in the early 20th century but is not the only
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
reason birthplaces moved. Unlike home births, early hospital births hindered bonding
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
between parents and their infants.

2. Family-centered maternity care developed in response to ff ff ff ff ff ff
a. demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
b. theSheppard-TownerAct of 1921.
f f ff ff
c. parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them rather than in
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff a nursery.
ff
d. changes in pharmacologic management of labor. ff ff ff ff ff
ANS: C ff
As research began to identify the benefits of early extended parent-infant contact,
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
parents began to insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually developed into
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
the practice of rooming-in and finally to family-centered maternity care. Family-
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
centered care was a request by parents, not physicians. The Sheppard-Towner Act of
f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
1921 provided funds for state-managed programs for mothers and children. The
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in family-centered
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
maternity care.

3. Which setting for childbirth allows the least amount of parent-infant contact?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
a. Labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room
b. Birth center ff
c. Traditional hospital birth ff ff
d. Home birth ff
.
, ANS: C ff
In the traditional hospital setting, the mother may see the infant for only short feeding periods,
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
and the infant is cared for in a separate nursery. The labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
room setting allows increased parent-infant contact. Birth centers are set up to allow an
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
increase in parent-infant contact. Home births allow an increase in parent-infant contact.

4. As a result of changes in health care delivery and funding, a current trend seen in
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
the pediatric setting is
ff ff ff ff
a. increased hospitalization of children. ff ff ff
b. decreased number of children living in poverty. ff ff ff ff ff ff
c. an increase in ambulatory care. ff ff ff ff
d. decreased use of managed care. ff ff ff ff
ANS: C ff
One effect of managed care has been that pediatric health care delivery has shifted
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
dramatically from the acute care setting to the ambulatory setting in order to provide
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
more cost-efficient care. The number of hospital beds being used has decreased as
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
more care is given in outpatient settings and in the home. The number of children
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
living in poverty has increased over the past decade. One of the biggest changes in
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
health care has been the growth of managed care.

5. TheWomen, Infants, and Children (WIC) program provides
f ff ff ff ff ff ff
a. well-child examinations for infants and children living at the poverty level. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
b. immunizations for high-risk infants and children. ff ff ff ff ff
c. screening for infants with developmental disorders. ff ff ff ff ff
d. supplemental food supplies to low-income pregnant or breastfeeding women. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ANS: D ff
WIC is a federal program that provides supplemental food supplies to low-income
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and to their children until age 5 years.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Medicaid‘s Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment Program provides
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
for well-child examinations and for treatment of any medical problems diagnosed during
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
such checkups. Children in the WIC program are often referred for immunizations, but
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
that is not the primary focus of the program. Public Law 99-457 is part of the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that provides financial incentives to states
ff ff f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
to establish comprehensive early intervention services for infants and toddlers with, or at
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
risk for, developmental disabilities.

b. treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). ff ff ff ff ff
c. accessing birth control. ff ff
d. surgery.
ANS: D ff
Minors are not considered capable of giving informed consent, so a surgical procedure
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
would require consent of the parent or guardian. Exceptions exist for obtaining treatment
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
for drug abuse or STDs or for getting birth control in most states.

7. The maternity nurse should have a clear understanding of the correct use of a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff clinical pathway. One characteristic of clinical pathways is that they
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
a. are developed and implemented by nurses.
ff ff ff ff ff
b. are used primarily in the pediatric setting.
ff ff ff ff ff ff
c. set specific time lines for sequencing interventions.
ff ff ff ff ff ff
d. are part of the nursing process.
ff ff ff ff ff
ANS: C ff
Clinical pathways are standardized, interdisciplinary plans of care devised for patients
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
with a particular health problem. They are used to identify patient outcomes, specify
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
time lines to achieve those outcomes, direct appropriate interventions and sequencing of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
interventions, include interventions from a variety of disciplines, promote collaboration,
f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
and involve a comprehensive approach to care. They are developed by multiple
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
health care professionals and reflect interdisciplinary care. They can be used in multiple
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
settings and for patients throughout the life span. They are not part of the nursing
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
process but can be used in conjunction with the nursing process to provide care to
ff ff ff f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
patients.

Pregnancy and birth, especially for a teenager, are important contributing factors for

becoming homeless. People preparing for retirement, migrant workers, and IV substance
f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
