Feedback
1 This is incorrect. Fetal monitoring during labor began in the late 1970s. As
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
such, this likely would have occurred during the mother’s labor and
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
delivery during the 1980s.
h1 h1 h1 h1
2 This is incorrect. In the past, the average hospital postpartum stay was 10 days.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
Presently, the average postpartum stay is 48 hours or less.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
3 This is incorrect. In the past, expectant partners and families were excluded
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
from the labor and birth experience. Present trends involve the expectant
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
partner and family in the labor and birth experience, including presence in
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
the operating
h1 h1
room for cesarean births. h1 h1 h1
4 This is correct. Hospital support for breastfeeding, including a lactation
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
consultant and employment of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, were both
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
enacted during the early 1990s.

2. A patient with a history of hypertension is giving birth. During delivery, the staff was
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
not able to stabilize the patient’s blood pressure. As a result, the patient died
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
shortly after delivery. This is an example of what type of death?
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
1. Early maternal death h1 h1
2. Late maternal death h1 h1

Feedback
1 This is incorrect. Early maternal death is not an example of maternal death.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
Examples of maternal death include late maternal death, indirect obstetric
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
death, direct obstetric death, and pregnancy-related death.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
2 This is incorrect. Late maternal death occurs 42 days after termination of
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
pregnancy from a direct or indirect obstetric cause.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
3 This is incorrect. Direct obstetric death results from complications during
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
pregnancy, labor, birth, and/or postpartum period. h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
4 This is correct. Indirect obstetric death is caused by a preexisting disease, or a
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
disease that develops during pregnancy. h1 h1 h1 h1

3. The nurse is providing education to a patient who has given birth to her first child
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
and is being discharged home. The patient expressed concern regarding infant
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
mortality and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The patient had an
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
uncomplicated pregnancy, labor, and vaginal delivery. She has a body mass index of
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
25 and has no other health conditions. The infant is healthy and was delivered full-

term. What will be most helpful thing to explain to the patient?
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
1. Uses of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (ECMO)
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

Feedback
1 This is incorrect. EMCO has been cited as one of the factors that has reduced
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
infant mortality among preterm infants.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
2 This is incorrect. Although advances in medical treatments have decreased
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
infant mortality, exogenous pulmonary surfactant is primarily used to reduce
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
mortality of preterm infants.
h1 h1 h1 h1
3 This is incorrect. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative was developed to
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
support breastfeeding and is not directly linked to reduced infant mortality or
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
SIDS.

4 This is correct. The Back to Sleep campaign and the Safe to Sleep campaigns
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
were designed to promote healthy infant sleeping habits. The decrease in
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
SIDS from
h1 h1
1995 to 2015 was attributed to the Safe to Sleep campaign.

1 This is incorrect. Maternal obesity increases a child’s risk of developing

childhood obesity and diabetes.

2 This is correct. Neonatal blindness, maternal death, and neonatal death are all
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
associated with a patient who contracts syphilis during pregnancy.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

4 This is incorrect. Teen mothers may have a higher risk of contracting sexually
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
transmitted illnesses and hypertension during pregnancy; however, maternal
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1
syphilis is not associated with fetal hypertension.
