, Which of the following is a likely reason for a woman to have an unassisted
birth? - VERIFIED ANSWER-A belief that unassisted birth will increase the
ability to bond with and take responsibility for her child.
Explanation:
Women choose an unassisted birth for a number of reasons. Some think that
birth is a normal function of the female body and so does not require medical
interventions and that some medical interventions have the potential to cause more
harm than good. Some believe that women can sense the natural flow of birth and
so can recognize the optimal position or technique for birth if they are allowed to
do this undisturbed. Some women see birth as a potentially orgasmic experience
that will be experienced best with privacy. Some think that unassisted birth will
increase the ability to bond with and take responsibility for her child. Lack of
health insurance may make home birth without health care supervision an
economic advantage. Freebirthing is potentially dangerous because if a
, complication of birth should occur, the woman may not recognize that the
complication is occurring until damage to her child or herself results.
A nurse educator is conducting a class on intimate partner violence for a
group of new graduate nurses during orientation. Which statement by the educator
best reflects current practice regarding these problems in women's health? -
VERIFIED ANSWER-"The nurse should screen for these problems at every
client encounter."
Explanation:
Both child and intimate partner violence is increasing in incidence. Families
are more mobile than in the past. Screening for child abuse (child maltreatment) or
intimate partner violence should be included in all family contacts. Nurses must be
aware of the legal responsibilities for reporting violence.
The nurse is reviewing the chart of a pediatric client (above). What data
support a high risk for infant mortality? - VERIFIED ANSWER-maternal factors
Explanation:
, Infant mortality rates are affected by many factors, including several from
the maternal aspect. Maternal HIV infection would put the infant at risk for
mortality. The birth weight for this infant is average, and the infant is gaining
weight as planned/expected, so nutrition is adequate, and weight does not support
risk for infant mortality. A maternal age of less than 18 years or more than 40 years
would put the infant at risk, as would lack of early or nonexistent prenatal care.
Obtaining prenatal care at 10 weeks' gestation is a positive outcome. This mother is
38 years of age.
After discussing the various options with a pregnant client and partner, they
have chosen to stay with their newborn and receive care from one nurse at the time
of birth. This is referred to as which type of care? - VERIFIED ANSWER-
Couplet care
Explanation:
Couplet care is care in which the mother and child remain in the same room
after labor/delivery through the postpartum period. This has become the standard
of care. Regionalized or centralized care places the treatment centers in centralized
locations and transfers the patient to the facility. Maternal child care allows the
mother to be the primary provider of care.
