ANS: D
As research began to identify the benefits of early, extended parent–infant
contact, parents began to insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually
developed into the practice of rooming-in and finally to family-centered maternity
care. The Sheppard-Towner Act provided funds for state-managed programs for
mothers and children but did not promote
family-centered care. The changes in pharmacologic management of labor were
not a factor in family-centered maternity care. Family-centered care was a
request by parents, not physicians.

a. Birth center
b. Home birth
c. Traditional hospital birth
d. Labor, birth, and recovery room

3. Which statement best describes the advantage of a labor, birth, recovery,
and postpartum (LDRP) room?
a. The family is in a familiar environment.
b. They are less expensive than traditional hospital rooms.
c. The infant is removed to the nursery to allow the mother to rest.
d. The woman‘s support system is encouraged to stay until discharge.
ANS: D
Sleeping equipment is provided in a private room. A hospital setting is never a
familiar environment to new parents. An LDRP room is not less expensive than a
traditional hospital room. The baby remains with the mother at all times and is
not removed to the nursery for routine care or testing. The father or other
designated members of the mother‘s support system are encouraged to stay at all
times.

4. Which nursing intervention is an independent function of the professional
nurse?
a. Administering oral analgesics
b. Requesting diagnostic studies
c. Teaching the patient perineal care
d. Providing wound care to a surgical incision
ANS: C
Nurses are now responsible for various independent functions, including teaching,
counseling,
and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by the physician
and carried out by the nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral
analgesics is a dependent function; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by
a nurse. Requesting diagnostic studies is a dependent function. Providing wound
care is a dependent function; however, the physician prescribes the type of
wound care through direct orders or protocol.

5. Which response by the nurse is the most therapeutic when the patient
states, ―I‘m so afraid to have a cesarean birth‖?

c. ―What concerns you most about a cesarean birth?‖
d. ―The physician will be in later and you can talk to him.‖
