Infant mortality statistics provide an index of a
T T T T T T T T
country's general health, measures thequality of
T T T T T T
pregnancy care, provides information on overall T T T T T T
diet, and determines infant health and available
T T T T T T T
care. Infant mortality statistics compares the health
T T T T T T T
with those of other countries and not with those of
T T T T T T T T T T
other states. T
2. The NURSE is providing care in an organization that supports the

T T T
ANS; D T
Feedback:
Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
family's functioning is important to the health status of its members. A
T T T T T T T T T T T T
healthy family establishesan environment conducive to growth and
T T T T T T T T
health-promoting behaviors to sustain family members during crises. A T T T T T T T T T
family- centered approach enables NURSEs to better understand
T T T T T T T T
individuals and their effect on others and, in turn, to provide more holistic
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
care.
Primarynursing, team nursing, and case management do not necessary take into T T T T T T T T T T T
considerationthe maternal and child care continuum. T T T T T

ANS; A, B, E T T T
Feedback:
Actions that the NURSE should perform when supporting the goals of maternal and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
child health care include advocating the rights for the mother and fetus, teaching
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
healthpromotion interventions, and assessing the family for strengths and specific T T T T T T T T T T
needs or challenges. Adhering to principles that focus on the needs of the mother and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
encouraging maternal hospitalization to regain strength and stamina are not actions that

support the goals of maternal and child health care.

Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goals are intended to help citizens more easily understand
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
theimportance of health promotion and illness prevention and to encourage wide
T T T T T T T T T T T
participation in improving health in the next decade. These goals do not focus on the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
early diagnosis of chronic problems, use of medications to treat illness, or reduce the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
cost of health care and medications.

5. The NURSE has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
child health issues. What does the NURSE realize as reasons for the changes in care?
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
(Select allthat apply.) T T
A) Smaller families T
B) Less domestic violence T T
C) More employed mothers T T
D) Stable home environments T T
E) More single-parent families T T
ANS; A, C, E T T T
Feedback:
Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller, more
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
mothers are employed out of the home, and there are more single-parent families. There
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
is an increase in domestic violence, and families are less stable and more mobile, which
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
influences homelessness. T
6. During an assessment, the NURSE asks a patient from a non-English-speaking
T T T T T T T T T T T
culturewhich types of home remedies and herbs the patient uses for health
T T T T T T T T T T T T
care.What is the purpose of asking the patient this question?

A) Analyze for herb–drug interactions T T T
B) Understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care T T T T T T T

D) Explain to the physician the patient's preference for nontraditionalT T T T T T T T T
medicine approaches T
ANS; A T
Feedback:
Assessing what alternative measures are being used is important because the action of
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
an herb can interfere with prescribed medications. Assessing the use of herbal remedies
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
is not done to understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care, determine
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
the types of medications the patient will need to be prescribed, or explain the patient's
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
preferences for nontraditional medicine approaches to the physician.
