Ans: A, B, D, E
u u u u u


Feedback:
Infant mortalitystatistics provide an index of a country's general health, measures the
u u u u u u u u u u u gi


quality of pregnancy care, provides information on overall nutrition, and determines
u u u u u u u u u u u


infant health and available care. Infant mortality statistics compares the health with
u u u u u u u u u u u u


uthose of other countries and not with those of other states.
u u u u u u u u u u




2. The nurse is providing care in an organization that supports the maternal and child care
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u gi


continuum. Which type of patient care area is an example of this approach?
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


A) Primarycare
B) Team nursing u


C) Case management u


D) Family-
centered careAns: D
u u gi uu


Feedback:
u


Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a family's fun
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


ctioning is important to the health status of its members. A healthy family establishesan
u u u u u u u u u u u u u gi


environment conducive to growth and health-
u u u u u u


promoting behaviors to sustain family members during crises. A family-
u u u u u u u u u


centered approach enables nurses to better understandindividuals and their effect on oth
u u u u u u gi u u u u u


ers and, in turn, to provide more holistic care. Primarynursing, team nursing, and case
u u u u u u u u u u gi u u u u


management do not necessary take into consideration the maternal and child care conti
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


nuum.

omotion interventions, and assessing the family for strengths and specific needs or
u u u u u u u u u u u u


challenges. Adhering to principles that focus on the needs of the mother and

encouraging maternal hospitalization to regain strength and stamina are not actions

thatsupport the g oals of maternal and child health care.

5. The nurse has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal and
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


uchildhealth issues. What does the nurse realize as reasons for the changes in care?
u gi u u u u u u u u u u u u u


u(Select allthat apply.) u gi u


A) Smaller families u


B) Less domestic violence u u


C) Moreemployed mothers u


D) Stable home environments u u


E) More single- u


parent familiesAns: A, C, E u gi uu u u


Feedback:
Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller, more mo
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


thers are employed out of the home, and there are more single-
u u u u u u u u u u u u


parent families. Thereis an increase in domestic violence, and families are less stable a
u u gi u u u u u u u u u u u


und more mobile, whichinfluences homelessness.

6. During an assessment, the nurse asks a patient from a non-English-
u u u u u u u u u u


speaking culture which types of home remedies and herbs the patient uses for health
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


care. What is thepurpose of asking the patient this question?
u u u u gi u u gi u u u


A) Analyze for herb–drug interactions u u u


B) Understand the patient's philosophyof alternative health care u u u u u u


C) Determine the types of medications the patient will need to be prescribed u u u u u u u u u u u


D) Explain to the physician the patient's preference for nontraditional medicine u u u u u u u u u gi


approaches u


Ans: A u


Feedback:
Assessing what alternative measures are being used is important because the action of
u u u u u u u u u u u u


an herb can interfere with prescribed medications. Assessing the use of herbal remedies
u u u u u u u u u u u u u gi


is not done to understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care, determine
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


the types of medications the patient will need to be prescribed, or explain the patient's
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


upreferences for nontraditional medicine approaches to the physician. u u u u u u u
