1 This is incorrect. Fetal monitoring during labor began in the late 1970s. As
such,
this likely would have occurred during the mother’s labor and delivery
duringthe 1980s.
2 This is incorrect. In the past, the average hospital postpartum stay was 10
days.
Presently, the average postpartum stay is 48 hours or less.
3 This is incorrect. In the past, expectant partners and families were
excluded fromthe labor and birth experience. Present trends involve the
expectant partner and family in the labor and birth experience, including
presence in the operating
room for cesarean births.
4 This is correct. Hospital support for breastfeeding, including a lactation
consultant and employment of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative,
were both
enacted during the early 1990s.

As a result, the patient died shortly after delivery. This is an example
of what type of death?
• Early maternal death
• Late maternal death
• Direct obstetric death
• Indir

1 This is incorrect. Early maternal death is not an example of maternal death.
Examples of maternal death include late maternal death, indirect obstetric
death, direct obstetric death, and pregnancy-related death.
2 This is incorrect. Late maternal death occurs 42 days after termination of
pregnancy from a direct or indirect obstetric cause.
3 This is incorrect. Direct obstetric death results from complications during
pregnancy, labor, birth, and/or postpartum period.
4 This is correct. Indirect obstetric death is caused by a preexisting disease,
or a
disease that develops during pregnancy.

infant is healthy and was delivered full-term. What will be most helpful
thing to explainto the patient?
• Uses of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (ECMO)
• Uses of exogenous pulmonary surfactant

1 This is incorrect. EMCO has been cited as one of the factors that has
reduced
infant mortality among preterm infants.
2 This is incorrect. Although advances in medical treatments have decreased
infant mortality, exogenous pulmonary surfactant is primarily used to
reduce mortality of
preterm infants.
3 This is incorrect. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative was developed to
support
breastfeeding and is not directly linked to reduced infant mortality or SIDS.
4 This is correct. The Back to Sleep campaign and the Safe to Sleep
campaigns weredesigned to promote healthy infant sleeping habits. The
decrease in SIDS from
1995 to 2015 was attributed to the Safe to Sleep campaign.
