Feedback
This is incorrect. Fetal monitoring in labor began in the
late 1970s. As such, this likely would have occurred in the
mum’s labor and delivery in the 1980s.
This is incorrect. In the past, the average Hospital
postpartum stay was 10 days.
Presently, the average postpartum stay is 48 hours or less.
This is incorrect. In the past, expectant partners and
families were excluded from the 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.
This is correct. Hospital support for breastfeeding,
including a lactation consultant and employment of the
Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, were both enacted in
the early 1990s.

PTS: 1 CON: Evidence-Based Practice

This is incorrect. Although advances in medical
