Chapter 1 g
Question 1 g
Type: MCSA
g g
The nurse is speaking to students about changes in maternal–newborn care. One change is that self-care has gained
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
wide acceptance with patients, the healthcare community, and third-party payers due to research findings that suggest
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
that it:
g g
1. Shortens newborn length of stay. g g g g
2. Decreases use of home health agencies. g g g g g
3. Reduces healthcare costs. g g
4. Decreases the number of emergency department visits. g g g g g g
CORRECT ANSWER: 3 g g
Rationale 1: Length of stay is often determined by third-party payer (insurance company) policies as well as
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gphysiologic stability of the mother and newborn. Home healthcare agencies often are involved in patient care to
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
decrease hospital stay time.
g g g g
Rationale 2: Home healthcare agencies often are involved in patient care to decrease hospital stay time.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Rationale 3: Research indicates self-care significantly reduces healthcare costs.
g g g g g g g g
Rationale 4: Acute emergencies are addressed by emergency departments, and are not delayed by those practicing self-
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
care.
Question 2 g
In order to combat the impersonal nature of technology that sometimes interferes with family-focused care, the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gnurse should take which actions?
g g g g
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
g g g g g
1. Advocate within the community for natural childbirth.
g g g g g g
2. Make childbirth education classes available.
g g g g
3. Be instrumental in providing change in the birth environment at work.
g g g g g g g g g g
, 4. Suggest that doulas not be allowed to interfere with the childbirth process.
g g g g g g g g g g g
5. Advocate for more home healthcare agencies.
g g g g g
CORRECT ANSWER: 1,2,3,5 g g
Rationale 1: Natural childbirth, if the patient is able, is the safest method for the baby.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Rationale 2: It is appropriate for nurses, in conjunction with doctors and hospitals, to provide childbirth classes for
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
the expectant families.
g g g
Rationale 3: By working with other staff and doctors, the nurse is able to implement change as needed within the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gbirthing unit. g
Rationale 4: Doulas are encouraged to be part of the birthing process as the patient wishes. They are mainly there as a
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
coach.
g
Rationale 5: Patients are going home sooner all the time, so there needs to be more follow-up in the home.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Question 3 g
The nurse is telling a new patient how technology used in maternal–newborn care has changed the way the nurse cares
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
for her patients. An example of this is:
g g g g g g g g
1. Elective inductions, requested cesareans, epidural anesthesia, and fetal monitoring.
g g g g g g g g
2. Delivering at home with a nurse-midwife and doula.
g g g g g g g
3. Having the father present as the coach and cut the umbilical cord.
g g g g g g g g g g g
4. Breastfeeding of the new baby on the delivery table. g g g g g g g g
CORRECT ANSWER: 1 g g
Rationale 1: Elective inductions, requested cesareans, epidural anesthesia, and fetal monitoring are all recent
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gtechnologies that have affected the care in labor and delivery areas.
g g g g g g g g g g
Rationale 2: A nurse-midwife and a doula are not examples of technological care.
g g g g g g g g g g g g
Rationale 3: Fathers’ being present during labor and coaching their partners represents nontechnological care
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g during
childbirth.
g
Rationale 4: Breastfeeding is not an example of technology impacting care.
