Ch01
1) The opening up of hospital visiting policies for children and families likely resultedfrom the work of which
individual?
a. Joseph Brennaman
b. John Bowlby
c. Marshal Klaus
d. John Kennell

Answer: B

Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his
study that revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother because of hospitalization.
His work led toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting policies for children. Joseph
Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for infants contributed to high infant mortality rates at
the time. In the 1970s and 1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus and John Kennell carried out
importantstudies on the effect of the separation of newborns and parents.
They established that early separation may have long-term effects on family relationships and that
offering the new family an opportunity to be together at birth and for a significant period after birth
may provide benefitsthat last well into early childhood.

2) An expectant mother states that she read that more black mothers die in childbirth than do white
mothers. When responding to her questions about the reasons for this, the nurse accurately states
that which is the major reason for the high maternal mortality rate?
a. Having formal education.
b. Being unmarried.
c. Income.
d. Lack of prenatal care.

Answer: D

Rationale: Research shows that maternal mortality rate is directly related to lack of prenatal care
secondary to lack of access to services or insurance. Income as well as educational level may play a role in
the availability of health care, but they are not directly responsible. Being unmarried has no bearing on
infant mortality.

3) Which statement correctly defines the term "infant death rate"?
a. number of deaths in utero of fetuses 500 g or more per 1,000 live births
b. number of deaths occurring in the first 28 days of life per 1,000 live births
c. number of deaths occurring at birth or in the first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births
d. death of a live-born child before his or her first birthday.

Answer: D

Rationale: The term infant death refers to the death of a live-born child before he or she reaches age 1
year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal mortality rate is the number of infant deaths
during the first 28 days of life for every 1,000 live births. Infant mortality rate is the number of deaths
during the first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births. Question format: Multiple Choice

4) The nursing instructor is preparing to teach a group of students about the history of maternity care.
What major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing the practice of maternity
care in the United States over the past century?
a. technologic advances and the use of forceps by primary care providers
b. development of anesthesia and acceptance of the germ theory
c. advent of birthing centers and the development of family-centered care
d. development of pediatric specialty and replacement of midwives as primary birth attendants Answer:

B

Rationale: The emphasis should be placed on anesthesia and the germ theory. The development of
anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth; the germ theory advanced the progress
of general health care and decreased infections in laboring women. Pediatrics as a specialty is an
important step forward but is not the greatest development, and midwives are still in practice. Maternity
care continues to evolve, and birthing centers are still under development. Forceps are not considered an
advance in maternity care.

Reference: p. 3

5) When preparing a client for surgery, the nurse explains that the use of an antiseptic during
the surgery has greatly improved client survival rates and was started by which physician?
a. Louis Pasteur
b. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis
c. Joseph Lister
d. Alexander Gordon

Answer: C

Rationale: Joseph Lister was a British surgeon who embraced Louis Pasteur's theory of microorganisms
as the cause of infection. Lister used carbolic acid as an antiseptic during surgery and improved the
survival rates of his patients. Alexander Gordon proposed the theory of infection. Oliver Wendell
Holmes and Ignaz Philip Semmelweis confirmed his theory.

6) A young couple are very excited to learn they are expecting their first child and question the nurse
about which test they need to discover its gender. Which procedure will best provide this information to
the couple?
a. Ultrasound
b. Amniocentesis
c. Chorionic villus sampling
d. HGP

Answer: A

Rationale: Ultrasound is a visual method for assessing the fetus in the uterus and will provide information
about the gender. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling provide the entire genetic code of the fetus.
HGP refers to the Human Genome Project, which can provide information regarding gene mutations and
variations.
