1. The opening up of hospital visiting policies for children and families
p p p p p p p p p p


likely resultedfrom the work of which individual?
p p p p p p p


A. Joseph Brennaman p


B. John Bowlby p


C. Marshal Klaus p


D. John Kennell p




Answer: B
p p




Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his
p p p p p p p p p


study that revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother because of
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


hospitalization. His work led toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting policies for
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


children. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for infants contributed to
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


phigh infant mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and 1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


pand John Kennell carried out importantstudies on the effect of the separation of
p p p p p p p p p p p p


pnewborns and parents. They established that early separation may have long-term effects
p p p p p p p p p p p


pon family relationships and that offering the new family an opportunity to be together at
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


pbirth and for a significant period after birth may provide benefitsthat last well into early
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


pchildhood.

2. An expectant mother states that she read that more black mothers die in childbirth than do
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


white mothers. When responding to her questions about the reasons for this, the
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


pnurse accurately states that which is the major reason for the high maternal mortality
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


prate?
A. Having formal education. p p


B. Being unmarried. p


C. Income.
D. Lack of prenatal care. p p p




Answer: D p




Rationale: Research shows that maternal mortality rate is directly related to lack of prenatal care
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


secondary to lack of access to services or insurance. Income as well as educational level
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


may play a role in the availability of health care, but they are not directly responsible.
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


Being unmarried has no bearing on infant mortality.

3. Which statement correctly defines the term "infant death rate"?
p p p p p p p p


A. number of deaths in utero of fetuses 500 g or more per 1,000 live births
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


B. number of deaths occurring in the first 28 days of life per 1,000 live births
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


C. number of deaths occurring at birth or in the first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


D. death of a live-born child before his or her first birthday.
p p p p p p p p p p




Answer: D p




Rationale: The term infant death refers to the death of a live-born child before he or she
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


reaches age 1 year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal mortality rate is
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


the number of infant deaths during the first 28 days of life for every 1,000 live births.

4. The nursing instructor is preparing to teach a group of students about the history of maternity
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


care. What major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing the
p p p p p p p p p p p p


ppractice of maternity care in the United States over the past century?
p p p p p p p p p p p


A. technologic advances and the use of forceps by primary care providers
p p p p p p p p p p


B. development of anesthesia and acceptance of the germ theory p p p p p p p p


C. advent of birthing centers and the development of family-centered care
p p p p p p p p p


D. development of pediatric specialty and replacement of midwives as primary birth
p p p p p p p p p p




attendants Answer: B
p p p




Rationale: The emphasis should be placed on anesthesia and the germ theory. The
p p p p p p p p p p p p


development of anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth; the germ
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


theory advanced the progress of general health care and decreased infections in laboring
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


women. Pediatrics as a specialty is an important step forward but is not the greatest
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


pdevelopment, and midwives are still in practice. Maternity care continues to evolve, and
p p p p p p p p p p p p


pbirthing centers are still under development. Forceps are not considered an advance in
p p p p p p p p p p p p


pmaternity care. p

5. When preparing a client for surgery, the nurse explains that the use of an antiseptic
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


during the surgery has greatly improved client survival rates and was started by which
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


physician?
p


A. Louis Pasteur p


B. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis p p


C. Joseph Lister p


D. Alexander Gordon p




Answer: C
p p




Rationale: Joseph Lister was a British surgeon who embraced Louis Pasteur's theory
p p p p p p p p p p p


pof microorganisms as the cause of infection. Lister used carbolic acid as an antiseptic
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


pduring surgery and improved the survival rates of his patients. Alexander Gordon proposed
p p p p p p p p p p p p


the theory of infection. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ignaz Philip Semmelweis confirmed

phis theory.p

6. A young couple are very excited to learn they are expecting their first child and
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


question the nurse about which test they need to discover its gender. Which procedure will
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


best provide this information to the couple?
p p p p p p p


A. Ultrasound
B. Amniocentesis
C. Chorionic villus sampling p p


D. HGP

Answer: A p




Rationale: Ultrasound is a visual method for assessing the fetus in the uterus and will provide
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


information about the gender. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling provide the entire
p p p p p p p p p p p p


genetic code of the fetus. HGP refers to the Human Genome Project, which can provide
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


information regarding gene mutations and variations.
