Chapter 01: 21st Century Maternity Nursing
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. When providingZcare for a pregnant woman, the nurse should be aware that oneZof the most frequently
reported maternal medical risk factors is:
a. Diabetes mellitus. c. Chronic hypertension.
b. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP). d. Anemia.
ANS: A
The most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors are diabetes and hypertension associated with p
regnancy. Both of these conditions are associated with maternal obesity. There are no studies that indicate
MVP is among the most frequently reported maternal risk factors. Hypertension associated with pregnancy,
not chronic hypertension, is one of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors. Although a
nemia is a concern in pregnancy, it is not one of the most frequently reportedZmaternal medical riskZfactors in p
regnancy.

2. To ensure optimal outcomes for the patient, the contemporary maternity nurse must incorporate both tea
mworkZand communication with clinicians into her care delivery, The SBAR technique of communication is an
easy-to-remember mechanism for communication. Which of the following correctly defines this acronym?
a. Situation, baseline assessment, response
b. Situation, background, assessment, recommendation
c. Subjective background, assessment, recommendation
d. Situation, background, anticipated recommendation
ANS: B
The situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) technique provides a specific framework for c
ommunication among health care providers. Failure to communicate is one of the major reasons for errors in he
alth care. The SBAR technique has the potential to serve as a means to reduce errors.

b. Primarily hospital care of maternity patients.
c. Practice using an evidence-based approach.
d. Planning patient care to cover longer hospital stays.
ANS: C
Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care for patients throu
ghout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside is one of the nurses tasks; ho
wever, it does not encompass the concept of the evolved professional nurse. Throughout the prenatal period, nu
rses care forZwomen in clinics and physicians offices and teach classes to help families prepare for childbir
th. Nurses also care for childbearing families in birthing centers and in the home. Nurses have been critical
ly important in developing strategies to improve the well-
being of women and their infants and have led the efforts to implement clinical practice guidelines using an evi
dence-
based approach. Maternity patients have experienced a decreased, rather than an increased, length of stay ov
er the past 2 decades.

4. A 23-year-old African-
American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for infant mortality, which plan is
most important for the nurse to implement?
a. Perform a nutrition assessment.
b. Refer the woman to a social worker.
c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, notZa midwife.
d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
ANS: D
Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated with infantZ
mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but a nutrition assessment is not the most
important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may need assistance from a social worker at
some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the mostZimportant aspect the nurse
should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-
risk problems, her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be assumed that
all African-American women have high-
risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspect on whic
h the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or manage the type of c
are a patient is to receive.
