likely resultedfrom the work of which individual?

A. Joseph Brennaman b-g




B. John Bowlby b-g




C. Marshal Klaus b-g




D. John Kennell b-g b-




Answer: B
g b-g




Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his
b-g b-g b - g b-g b- g b - g b-g b - g b - g




study that revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother
b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




gbecause of hospitalization. His work led toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital
b - g b-g b-g b - g b - g b-g b-g b-g b-g b - g b-g b -




gvisiting policies for children. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b - g b - g b-g b - g b - g b-g b - g b -




ginfants contributed to high infant mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and

g1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus and John Kennell carried out importantstudies on
b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




gthe effect of the separation of newborns and parents. They established that early
b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b -




gseparation may have long-term effects on family relationships and that offering the

2. An expectant mother states that she read that more black mothers die in childbirth than
b-g b - g b - g b-g b - g b-g b-g b - g b-g b - g b-g b - g b-g b-g b-




do white mothers. When responding to her questions about the reasons for this,

the nurse accurately states that which is the major reason for the high maternal

mortality rate?
g b - g




A. Having formal education. b-g b-g




B. Being unmarried. b-g




C. Income.
D. Lack of prenatal care. b-g b-g b-g




Answer: D b-g




Rationale: Research shows that maternal mortality rate is directly related to lack of prenatal
b - g b - g b-g b - g b - g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b -




care secondary to lack of access to services or insurance. Income as well as

not directly responsible. Being unmarried has no bearing on infant mortality.

b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b- g b -g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g




D. death of a live-born child before his or her first birthday.
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b- g b-g b-g




Answer: D b-g




Rationale: The term infant death refers to the death of a live-born child before he
b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




or she reaches age 1 year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal

4. The nursing instructor is preparing to teach a group of students about the history of maternity
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




care. What major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing
g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




the practice of maternity care in the United States over the past century?
g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g




A. technologic advances and the use of forceps by primary care providers b- g b-g b-g b-g b- g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g




B. development of anesthesia and acceptance of the germ theory b-g b-g b-g b-g b - g b-g b-g b-g

b-g b-g b - g b- g b-g b-g b-g b - g b-g




D. development of pediatric specialty and replacement of midwives as primary birth b-g b-g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b-g b-g b-




attendants Answer: B
g b-g b-g




Rationale: The emphasis should be placed on anesthesia and the germ theory. The
b - g b-g b - g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b-g b - g b-g b-




development of anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth; the
g b-g b-g b-g b - g b - g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b-g b - g b-




germ theory advanced the progress of general health care and decreased infections in
g b-g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




laboring women. Pediatrics as a specialty is an important step forward but is not
g b - g b - g b - g b-g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




the greatest development, and midwives are still in practice. Maternity care
g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




continues to evolve, and birthing centers are still under development. Forceps are
g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b-g b - g b-g b - g b - g b -




not considered an advance in maternity care.

b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




during the surgery has greatly improved client survival rates and was started by which

physician?
g




A. Louis Pasteur b-g




B. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis b- g b-g




C. Joseph Lister b-g




D. Alexander Gordon b-g b-




Answer: C
g b-g




Rationale: Joseph Lister was a British surgeon who embraced Louis Pasteur's
b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




theory of microorganisms as the cause of infection. Lister used carbolic acid as
g b - g b-g b - g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




an antiseptic during surgery and improved the survival rates of his patients. Alexander
g b - g b - g b-g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b-g b - g b-g b - g b -




Gordon proposed the theory of infection. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ignaz Philip
g b - g b-g b-g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




Semmelweis confirmed his theory.

A. Ultrasound
B. Amniocentesis
C. Chorionic villus sampling b-g b-g




D. HGP

Answer: A b-g




Rationale: Ultrasound is a visual method for assessing the fetus in the uterus and will
b - g b-g b-g b - g b - g b - g b-g b-g b - g b-g b-g b-g b-g b - g b -




provide information about the gender. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling provide
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b - g b-g b - g b-g b-g b - g b -




the entire genetic code of the fetus. HGP refers to the Human Genome Project,
g b-g b-g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b - g b -




which can provide information regarding gene mutations and variations.
