MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse educator is teaching a group of nursing students about the history of
family-centered maternity care. Which statement should the nurse include
in the teaching session?
a. The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 promoted family-centered care.
b. Changes in pharmacologic management of labor prompted family-centered
care.
c. Demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth
increased the practice of family-centered care.
d. Parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them
rather than in a nursery initiated the practice of family-
centered care.
ANS: D
As research began to identify the benefits of early, extended parent-infant
contact, parents began to insist that the infant remain with them. This
gradually developed into the practice of rooming-in and finally to family-
centered maternity care. The Sheppard-Towner Act provided funds for state-
managed programs for mothers and children but did not promote
family-centered care. The changes in pharmacologic management of labor
were not a factor in family-centered maternity care. Family-centered care was
a request by parents, not physicians.

c. Traditional hospital birth
u
d. Labor, bi1th, and recovery room
ANS: C
In the traditional hospital setting, the mother may see the infant for only short
feeding periods, and the infant is cared for in a separate nursery. Birth centers
are set up to allow an increase in parent-infant contact. Home births allow the
greatest amount of parent-infant contact. The labor, birth, recovery, and
postpartum room setting allows for increased parent-infant contact.

3. Which statement best describes the advantage of a labor, birth, recovery, and
postpartum
(LDRP) room?
a. The family is in a familiar environment.
b. They are less expensive than traditional hospital rooms.
c. The infant is removed to the nursery to allow the mother to rest.
d. The woman's support system is encouraged to stay until discharge.
ANS: D
Sleeping equipment is provided in a private room. A hospital setting is never a
familiar environment to new parents. An LDRP room is not less expensive than a
traditional hospital room. The baby remains with the mother at all times and is
not removed to the nursery for routine care or testing. The father or other
designated members of the mother's support system are encouraged to stay at
all times.

c. Teaching the patient perinea! care

counseling, and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by
the physician and carried out by the nurse are called dependent functions.

diagnostic studies is a dependent function. Providing wound care is a
dependent function; however, the physician prescribes the type of wound
care through direct orders or protocol.

a. -Everything will be OK. II
b. -Don't worry about it. It will be over soon.II
c. -What concerns you most about a cesarean birth?II
d. -The physician will be in later and you can talk to him.II
ANS: C
The response, -What concerns you most about a cesarean birthll focuses on what
the patient is saying and asks for clarification, which is the most therapeutic
response. The response,
-Everything will be okll is belittling the patient's feelings. The response, -
Don't worry about it. It will be over soonll will indicate that the patient's
feelings are not important. The response, -The physician will be in later and
you can talk to himll does not allow the patient to verbalize her feelings when
she wishes to do that.
