1. The Opening Up Of Hospital Visiting Policies For Children And Families
Likely Resulted From The Work Of Which Individual?
A. Joseph Brennaman
B. John Bowlby
C. Marshal Klaus
D. John Kennell
ANSWER; B
Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby Received Worldwide Attention With His Study That
Revealed The Negative Results Of The Separation Of Child And Mother Because Of
Hospitalization. His Work Led To A Re-Evaluation And Liberalization Of Hospital Visiting
Policies For Children. Joseph Brennaman Suggested That A Lack Of Stimulation For
Infants Contributed To High Infant Mortality Rates At The Time. In The 1970s And 1980s,
Physicians Marshall Klaus And John Kennell Carried Out Important Studies On The Effect
Of The Separation Of Newborns And Parents.
They Established That Early Separation May Have Long-Term Effects On Family
Relationships And That Offering The New Family An Opportunity To Be Together At Birth
And For A Significant Period After Birth May Provide Benefits That Last Well Into Early
Childhood.
Question Format: Multiple Choice

2. An Expectant Mother States That She Read That More Black Mothers Die In Childbirth
Than 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?
A. Having Formal Education.
B. Being Unmarried.
C. Income.
D. Lack Of Prenatal Care.
ANSWER; D
Rationale: Research Shows That Maternal Mortality Rate Is Directly Related To Lack Of
Prenatal Care Secondary To Lack Of Access To Services Or Insurance. Income As Well As
Educational Level May Play A Role In The Availability Of Health Care, But They Are Not
Directly Responsible. Being Unmarried Has No Bearing On Infant Mortality.
