MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to
hospital births in the early 20th century?
a. Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery.
b. Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births.
c. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
d. Technologic developments became available to physicians.
ANS: D
Technologic developments were available to physicians, not lay midwives. So
in-hospital births increased in order to take advantage of these advancements.
Puerperal sepsis has been a known problem for generations. In the late 19th
century, Semmelweis discovered how it could be prevented with improved
hygienic practices. The development of forceps is an example of a technology
, advance made in the early 20th century but is not the only reason birthplaces
moved. Unlike home births, early hospital births hindered bonding between
parents and their infants.

2. Family-centered maternity care developed in response to
a. demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth.
b. the Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921.
c. parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them
rather than in a nursery.
d. changes in pharmacologic management of labor.
ANS: C
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. Family-centered care was a request by parents, not
physicians. The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 provided funds for state-
managed programs for mothers and children. The changes in pharmacologic
management of labor were not a factor in family-centered maternity care.
