Feedback:
Infant mortalitystatistics provide an index of a country's general health, measures
h h h h h h h h h h h




thequality of pregnancy care, provides information on overall nutrition, and determines
h h h h h h h h h h h




infant health and available care. Infant mortalitystatistics compares the health with those of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




other countries and not with those of other states.
h h h h h h h h h

care continuum. Which type of patient care area is an example of this approach?

Feedback:

Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a family's
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




functioning is important to the health status of its members. A healthyfamily establishesan
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




environment conducive to growth and health-promoting behaviors to sustain family
h h h h h h h h h h




members during crises. A family-centered approach enables nurses to better understand
h h h h h h h h h h h




individuals and their effect on others and, in turn, to provide more holistic care.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




Primarynursing, team nursing, and case management do not necessarytake into consideration
h h h h h h h h h h h h




the maternal and child care continuum.

E) Assesses family members for strengths and specific needs or h h h h h h h h




challenges Ans: A, B, E
h I h h h




Feedback:
Actions that the nurse should perform when supporting the goals of maternal and child
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




health care include advocating the rights for the mother and fetus, teaching health
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




promotion interventions, and assessing the family for strengths and specific needs or
h h h h h h h h h h h h




challenges. Adhering to principles that focus on the needs of the mother and encouraging
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




maternal hospitalization to regain strength and stamina are not actions that support the
h h h h h h h h h h h I h




goals of maternal and child health care.
h h h h h h h

h h h h h h h h h h h h




theimportance of health promotion and disease prevention and to encourage wide
h h h h h h h h h h h




participation in improving health in the next decade. These goals do not focus on the early
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




diagnosis of chronic problems, use of medications to treat disease, or reduce the cost of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




health care and medications.

5. The nurse has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal and child
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




health issues. What does the nurse realize as reasons for the changes in care? (Select allthat
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




apply.)
h




A) Smallerfamilies h




B) Less domesticviolence h h




C) Moreemployed mothers h h




D) Stablehome environments h h




E) Moresingle-parent h




families Ans: A, C, E
h I h h h




Feedback:
h




Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller, more
h h h h h h h h h h h h




mothers are employed out of the home, and there are more single-parent families. There is
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h I



an increase in domestic violence, and families are less stableand moremobile,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




whichinfluences homelessness.
h h




6. During an assessment, the nurse asks a patient from a non-English-speaking culture
h h h h h h h h h h h




which types of home remedies and herbs the patient uses for health care. What is
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




thepurpose of asking the patient this question?
h h h h h h h




A) Analyze for herb–druginteractions h h h




B) Understand the patient's philosophyof alternative health care h h h h h h h




C) Determinethe types of medications thepatient will need to be prescribed h h h h h h h h h h h




D) Explaintothephysicianthepatient'spreference fornontraditional h h h h h h h h




medicineapproaches h




Ans: A h




Feedback:
Assessing what alternative measures are being used is important because the action of an
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




herb can interfere with prescribed medications. Assessing the use of herbal remediesis not
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




done to understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care, determine the types
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




of medications the patient will need to be prescribed, or explain the patient's preferences for
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




nontraditional medicine approaches to the physician.

7. Thenurse notes that statistics on maternal mortality had improved but are again
h h h h h h h h h h h h




becoming elevated. What does the nurse realize as a reason for this change in
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




maternalmortalityrates?
h I h




A) Earlierprenatal care h h




B) Gestational hypertension h




C) Increasedvaginal deliveries h h




D) Treatment for chronic h h




diseases Ans: B
h I h




Feedback:
This increasing rate in maternal mortalityis associated with more cesarean births, more
h h h h h h h h h h h h




gestational hypertension related to preexisting hypertensive disorders, and lack of
h h h h h h h h h h




healthinsurance for many Americans. This increase is not because of earlier prenatal care,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




increased vaginal deliveries, or treatment for chronic diseases.
h h h h h h h h




8. A new mother asks the nurse if all of the new baby's injections can be given in one
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




visit because the mother is losing income from missing work because of the office
h I h h h h h h h h h h h h




visits. What does this new mother's issue indicate to the nurse?
h h h h h h h h h h h




A) Themother needs to find an alternative employer. h h h h h h h




B) Themother's income is moreimportant that thebaby's health. h h h h h h h h h




C) Missingwork does not support the baby's health maintenance visits. h h h h h h h h h




D) The federal government needs to do more to support well-baby h h h h h h h h h




visits.Ans: C
h h




Feedback:
An area that needs additional research is finding effective stimuli to encourage women to
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




bring children for health maintenance visits. The mother losing income because of missing
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




work for well-babyvisits will deter health maintenance visits for the baby goingforward.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h I



This mother's issue does not indicate that the mother needs to find another job, that the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




mother's income is more important that the baby's health, or that the federal government
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




needs to do more to support well-baby visits.
