4. An indigenous patient is pregnant with their first child. Which evidence-informed intervention is most important for the nurse
to implement?
a. Perform a nutrition assessment.
b. Refer the patient to a social worker.
c. Advise the patient to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
d. Explain to the patient the importance of keeping their prenatal care appointments.
Answer: d
Consistent prenatal care is associated with healthier infants. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not
the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may need assistance from a social worker at some
time during the pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time.
If the patient has identifiable high-risk problems, their health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be
assumed that all indigenous patients have high-risk issues. In addition, advising the patient to see an obstetrician is not the most
important aspect on which the nurse should focus at this time.

7. What is the primary role of practicing nurses in the research process?
a. Designing research studies
b. Collecting data for other researchers
c. Identifying areas for further research
d. Seeking funding to support research studies
Answer: c
The primary role of the practicing nurse is to identify areas for further research in the health and health care of women, children,
and families. When problems are identified, research can be conducted properly. Research of health care issues leads to
evidence-informed practice guidelines. Designing research studies is only one factor of the research process. Data collection is
One factor of research. Financial support is necessary to conduct research, but it is not the primary role of the nurse in the research
process.

promotion focus?
a. Shift to home births
b. Emergence of avian influenza

The emergence of the avian influenza shifted the focus of the phac from population health and a health promotion focus to a
focus on planning for a pandemic. There has been no shift to home births from hospital births in canada. The united nations
millennium goals did not cause a focal shift for the phac. There has not been an increase in the maternal mortality rate.

a. Increased transportation for indigenous people to travel to tertiary care
centres for health care.
b. Recognize the value of indigenous healing practices and their use in the
health care system.
c. Treat health concerns of indigenous people with western ways of healing.
d. Educate health care providers about indigenous healing practices to
eliminate the role of the elder.
Answer: b
The trc (2015) final report calls on health care providers to recognize the value of indigenous healing practices and to use them in
the treatment of indigenous patients in collaboration with indigenous healers and elders where requested by indigenous patients. It
is imperative that health care providers become knowledgeable in indigenous healing practices, not to eliminate the role of the
elder but to work collaboratively with elders. Health care services need to be available where indigenous people work and live and
not require increased transportation to tertiary care centres for health care.

a. Collegiality
b. Dependent role
c. Evaluation
d. Accountability
Answer: d
The code of ethics for registered nurses, by the canadian nurses association (cna), provides the framework and core
responsibilities for nursing practice. The code of ethics focuses on the nurse's accountability and responsibility to the patient (cna,
2017) and emphasizes the nursing role as an independent professional, one that upholds its own legal liability.
Collegiality refers to a working relationship with one‘s colleagues. Evaluation refers to examination of the effectiveness of

a. Limiting interprofessional teams
b. Maintaining existing power structures

d. Addressing health inequities by engaging in policy analysis and advocacy
Answer: d
Addressing health inequities by creating health policy and services that focus on both resources needed for health and access to
health services is a future goal of perinatal nurses. Nurses should be expanding interprofessional teams rather than limiting their
existence. Existing power structures and practices need to be disrupted rather than maintained.
Advocating for an increased number of caesarean births is not a future goal for perinatal nursing.

15. What is the most important aspect of trauma-informed care?
a. Providing counselling to patients who have be traumatized
b. Minimize the potential for harm and re-traumatization
c. Asking all patients about previous trauma in their life
d. To provide a controlling environment for the patient
Answer: b
The focus of trauma and violence-informed approaches are to minimize the potential for harm and re-traumatization, and to
enhance safety, control and resilience for all clients. While patients should be asked about trauma in their life this is not the most
important point as not all patients will disclose the trauma. It is also important to enhance their own control over the situation and
not for health care providers to control the situation. Providing counselling may be appropriate for some patients but it is not the
focus of trauma-informed care.

a. Violation of patient privacy and confidentiality.
b. Institutions and colleagues may be cast in an unfavourable light.
c. Unintended negative consequences for using social media.

institutions and colleagues can be cast in unfavourable lights with negative consequences for those posting information.
Nursing students have been expelled from school and nurses have been fired or reprimanded by their licensing board for
injudicious posts. All institutions should have policies guiding the use of social media, and nurses should be familiar with these
guidelines.

marriage. Which family form best describes this family?
a. Blended family
b. Extended family
c. Nuclear family
d. Same-sex family

Blended families are formed as the result of divorce and remarriage. Unrelated family members join together to create a new
household. Members of an extended family are kin, or family members related by blood, such as grandparents, aunts, and
uncles, living in the same household. A nuclear family is when male and female partners and their children live as an

working together to identify capacity and adversity patterns and building knowledge together for health promotion. The focus of
care has moved away from the provision of health service in order to focus on health promotion. The resiliency of the patient and

ultimately
Values and attitudes dictate the course of action taken by family members. Boundaries and channels affect the relationship

b. Maturation of family members
c. The family‘s perception of the event
d. The prevailing cultural beliefs of society
Answer: c
The family stress theory is concerned with the family‘s reaction to, and perception of, stressful events; internal context
factors include elements that a family can control, such as psychological defences. It is not concerned with maturation of
family members or with the prevailing cultural beliefs of society. The family‘s success in coping with stressors is an

may be influenced by factors such as educational level, income level, and ethnic background. Educational achievement, income
level, and subcultural group are all important factors. However, the nurse must understand that a patient‘s concerns from their own

c. Do a brief assessment of all family members present.
d. Reschedule the visit for another time so that the postpartum patient and infant

The nurse should introduce herself to the patient and the other family members present. Family members in the home may be
providing care and assistance to the postpartum patient and infant. Nurses should take the opportunity to provide health teaching
while family members are present. The responsibility of the home care perinatal nurse is to provide care to the new postpartum
patient and their infant, not to briefly assess all family members. The nurse can politely ask about the other people in the home and
their relationships with the patient. Unless an indication is given that the patient would prefer privacy, the visit may continue.

to implement?
a. Perform a nutrition assessment.
b. Refer the patient to a social worker.
c. Advise the patient to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
d. Explain to the patient the importance of keeping their prenatal care appointments.
Answer: d
Consistent prenatal care is associated with healthier infants. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not
the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may need assistance from a social worker at some
time during the pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time.
If the patient has identifiable high-risk problems, their health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be
assumed that all indigenous patients have high-risk issues. In addition, advising the patient to see an obstetrician is not the most
important aspect on which the nurse should focus at this time.

Answer: d
Addressing health inequities by creating health policy and services that focus on both resources needed for health and access to
health services is a future goal of perinatal nurses. Nurses should be expanding interprofessional teams rather than limiting their
existence. Existing power structures and practices need to be disrupted rather than maintained.

Answer: b
The focus of trauma and violence-informed approaches are to minimize the potential for harm and re-traumatization, and to
enhance safety, control and resilience for all clients. While patients should be asked about trauma in their life this is not the most
important point as not all patients will disclose the trauma. It is also important to enhance their own control over the situation and
