1. When providing care for a pregnant woman, the nurse should be aware that one of the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors is:
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


a. diabetes mellitus. ff


b. mitral valve prolapse (MVP). ff ff ff


c. chronic hypertension. ff


d. anemia.
ANS: f f A
The most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors are diabetes and hypertension
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


associated with pregnancy. Both of these conditions are associated with maternal obesity.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


There are no studies that indicate MVP is among the most frequently reported maternal risk
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


factors. Hypertension associated with pregnancy, not chronic hypertension, is one of the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors. Although anemia is a concern in
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


pregnancy, it is not one of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors in
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


pregnancy.

2. To ensure optimal outcomes for the patient, the contemporary maternity nurse must

incorporate both teamwork and communication with clinicians into her care delivery. The

a. Situation, baseline assessment, response ff ff ff


b. Situation, background, assessment, recommendation ff ff ff


c. Subjective background, assessment, recommendation ff ff ff


d. Situation, background, anticipated recommendation ff ff ff




ANS: f f B
The situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) technique provides a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


specific framework for communication among health care providers. Failure to communicate
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


is one of the major reasons for errors in health care. The SBAR technique has the potential
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


to serve as a means to reduce errors.

Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


for patients throughout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


bedside is one of the nurse's tasks; however, it does not encompass the concept of the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


evolved professional nurse. Throughout the prenatal period, nurses care for women in
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


clinics and
ff ff


physician's offices and teach classes to help families prepare for childbirth. Nurses also care
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


for childbearing families in birthing centers and in the home. Nurses have been critically
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


important in developing strategies to improve the well-being of women and their infants
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


and have led the efforts to implement clinical practice guidelines using an evidence-based
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


approach. Maternity patients have experienced a decreased, rather than an increased, length
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


of stay over the past two decades.

4. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


the statistics for infant mortality, which plan is most important for the nurse to
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


implement?
ff


a. Perform a nutrition assessment. ff ff ff


b. Refer the woman to a social worker. ff ff ff ff ff ff


c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff




ANS: f f D
Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


associated with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor,
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


but a nutrition assessment is not the most important action a nurse should take in this
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


situation. The patient may need assistance from a s o ci alNwUoRrSkIeNrGaTt Bs .oCmO eMt i m e during her
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



pregnancy, but a referral to
ff ff ff ff ff

a social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


woman has identifiable high risk problems, her health care may need to be provided by a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


physician. However, it cannot be assumed that all African-American women have high risk
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


aspect on which the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


advise or manage the type of care a patient is to receive.

5. During a prenatal intake interview, the nurse is in the process of obtaining an initial
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


assessment of a 21-year-old Hispanic patient with limited English proficiency. It is
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


important for the nurse to:
ff ff ff ff ff


a. use maternity jargon in order for the patient to become familiar with these terms.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


b. speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


c. provide the patient with handouts. ff ff ff ff


d. assess whether the patient understands the discussion. ff ff ff ff ff ff




ANS: f f D
Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words; avoiding jargon; and
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


evaluating whether the patient understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and clearly and
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


focusing on what is important increase understanding. Most patient education materials are
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


written at too high a level for the average adult and may not be useful for a patient with
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


limited English proficiency.

6. When managing health care for pregnant women at a prenatal clinic, the nurse
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


should recognize that the most significant barrier to access to care is the pregnant
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


woman's:
ff


a. age.
b. minority status. ff


c. educational level. ff


d. inability to pay. ff ff




ANS: f f D
The most significant barrier to health care access is the inability to pay for services; this is
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


compounded by the fact that many physicians refuse to care for women who cannot pay.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


Although adolescent pregnant patients statistically receive less prenatal care, age is not the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


most significant barrier. Significant disparities in morbidity and mortality rates exist for
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


minority women; however, minority status is not the most significant barrier to access of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


care. Disparities in educational level are associated with morbidity and mortality rates;
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


however, educational level is not the most significant barrier to access of care.

7. When the nurse is unsure about how to perform a patient care procedure, the best
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


action would be to:
ff ff ff ff


a. ask another nurse. ff ff


b. discuss the procedure with theNpUaRtiSeInNtG
'sTpBh.CyO
siM
cian. ff ff ff ff


c. look up the procedure in a nursing textbook.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


d. consult the agency's procedure manual and follow the guidelines for
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


the procedure.
ff ff




ANS: f f D
It is always best to follow the agency's policies and procedures manual when seeking
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


information on correct patient procedures. These policies should reflect the current
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


standards of care and state guidelines. Each nurse is responsible for her own practice.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


Relying on another nurse may not always be safe practice. Each nurse is obligated to follow
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


the standards of care for safe patient care delivery. Physicians are responsible for their own
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


patient care activity. Nurses may follow safe orders from physicians, but they are also
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


responsible for the activities that they as nurses are to carry out. Information provided in a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


nursing textbook is basic information for general knowledge. Furthermore, the information
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


in a textbook may not reflect the current standard of care or individual state or hospital
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


policies.

8. From the nurse's perspective, what measure should be the focus of the health care system

ff to reduce the rate of infant mortality further?

a. Implementing programs to ensure women's early participation in ongoing ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


ff prenatal care. ff


b. Increasing the length of stay in a hospital after vaginal birth from 2 to 3 days. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
