Chapter 1: Perspectives on Maternal, Newborn, and
Women's Health Care
1. A group of nurses is discussing the reasons for the
United States' low rankings for infant and maternal
mortality. Which action could nurses implement to
have the greatest impact on reducing these rates?
A) Ensuring that all pregnant clients receive their
immunizations
B) Assuring early and adequate prenatal care
C) Providing more extensive women's shelters
,D) Encouraging all women to eat a balanced diet
Rationale: The lack of prenatal care during
pregnancy is a major contributing factor to poor
outcomes. Prenatal care is well known to prevent
complications and support the birth of healthy
infants. Early and adequate prenatal care allows
for early detection and management of potential
problems.
2. When integrating the principles of family-centered
care into the birthing process, the nurse should base
care upon which belief?
A) Birth is viewed as a medical event
B) Families are unable to make informed choices
due to stress
C) Birth results in changes in relationships
D) Families require little information to make
appropriate decisions
Rationale: Family-centered care is based on the
principle that birth affects the entire family and
relationships will change. Birth is viewed as a
normal, healthy event in the life of the family.
,3. When preparing a teaching plan for a group of
first-time pregnant women, the nurse expects to
review how maternity care has changed over the
years. Which of the following would the nurse
include when discussing events of the 20th century?
A) Epidemics of puerperal fever
B) Performance of the first cesarean birth
C) Development of the x-ray to assess pelvic size
D) Creation of free-standing birth centers
Rationale: Free-standing birth centers were
created in the 20th century as an alternative to
hospital births, reflecting the movement toward
family-centered care.
4. After teaching a group of students about
pregnancy-related mortality, the instructor
determines that additional teaching is needed when
the students identify which condition as a leading
cause?
A) Hemorrhage
B) Embolism
C) Obstructed labor
, D) Infection
Rationale: Hemorrhage, obstructed labor, and
infection are leading causes of pregnancy-related
mortality worldwide. Embolism is not typically
identified as a leading cause in the same category.
5. The nurse is working with a group of community
health members to develop a plan addressing
women's special health needs. Which condition
would the group address as the major problem?
A) Smoking
B) Heart disease
C) Diabetes
D) Cancer
Rationale: Heart disease is the leading cause of
death among women in the United States, making
it the major health problem to address.
6. When assessing a family for possible barriers to
health care, which factor would the nurse consider
most important?
