diet, and determines infant health and available
care. Infant mortality statistics compares the health
with those of other countries and not with those of
other states.

maternal and childcare continuum. Which type of patient care area is an
example of this approach?
A) Primary care
B) Team nursing
C) Case management
D) Family-
centered care
ANS; D
Feedback:
Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a
family's functioning is important to the health status of its members. A
healthy family establishesan environment conducive to growth and
health-promoting behaviors to sustain family members during crises. A
family- centered approach enables NURSEs to better understand
individuals and their effect on others and, in turn, to provide more holistic
care.
Primarynursing, team nursing, and case management do not necessary take
into considerationthe maternal and child care continuum.
