INSTANT PDF DOWNLOAD — This is the official test bank for NUR 166 Exam 1 at Hondros College of Nursing, covering Concepts of Family-Centered Nursing for the Practical Nurse (LPN) program. It contains verified questions and answers with detailed rationales in multiple-choice, select-all-that-apply (SATA), ordered response, and clinical scenario formats aligned with the Ohio Board of Nursing LPN scope of practice. This resource focuses on family health promotion, reproductive health, prenatal care, fetal development, family planning, and infertility.
FAMILY-CENTERED NURSING FOUNDATIONS (EXAM 1 FOCUS)
FAMILY-CENTERED CARE PRINCIPLES
Core concepts: dignity and respect (honoring patient and family perspectives and choices), information sharing (timely, complete, unbiased information communicated in affirming and useful ways), participation (families as partners in care and decision-making at the level they choose), collaboration (involving families, patients, and healthcare providers in policy, program, and facility development). Family is defined as whatever the patient says it is – biological relatives, close friends, neighbors, or others who provide support.
Family Nursing Approaches – Family as context: family serves as background or resource for individual client care. Family as client: family itself is the focus of assessment and intervention. Family as system: interactions between family members are the focus (systems theory). Family as component of society: family's interaction with broader community systems (education, healthcare, social services, employment).
Family Assessment Tools – Ecomap: visual representation of family's connections to external support systems and resources (social services, healthcare, school, work, extended family, friends, religious organizations). Genogram: family tree illustrating relationships and health patterns across multiple generations (identifies hereditary conditions, patterns of illness, family dynamics). Family APGAR: assessment of family function: Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve.
Life Span Approach to Health Promotion – Preconception: folic acid 400-800 mcg, optimize chronic disease management, STI screening, genetic counseling, environmental/occupational hazard avoidance. Prenatal: prenatal vitamins with folic acid, first prenatal visit within first trimester, regular prenatal visits, avoid teratogens (alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, certain medications, radiation). Infancy: breastfeeding promotion, immunizations (birth-12 months), safe sleep (Back to Sleep/Safe to Sleep campaign, supine position, firm mattress, no soft bedding), car seat safety (rear-facing until 2 years). Early Childhood (1-5 years): injury prevention (falls, burns, drowning, poisoning, motor vehicle), nutrition (healthy eating habits, limit screen time), developmental surveillance, immunizations.
PRENATAL CARE
Fetal Development by Trimester
First Trimester (Weeks 1-12) – Organogenesis (all major organs form during this critical period). Weeks 3-8: development of heart (begins beating at 5 weeks), brain, spinal cord, lungs, GI tract, kidneys, limbs, fingers, toes. Neural tube closes by 28 days. Heartbeat detectable by Doppler at 10-12 weeks. Risk of teratogens highest during first trimester (drugs, alcohol, infections, radiation, certain chemicals). Gestational sac visible on ultrasound at 5 weeks, fetal pole at 6 weeks, heartbeat on transvaginal ultrasound at 6-7 weeks. Crown-rump length (CRL) used for accurate dating in first trimester.
Second Trimester (Weeks 13-27) – Quickening (fetal movement felt by mother) at 16-20 weeks. Vernix caseosa (waxy protective coating) and lanugo (fine hair) develop. Fetal heartbeat audible by fetoscope at 18-20 weeks. Fundal height measurement (McDonald's rule) becomes reliable at 18-32 weeks (fundal height in cm corresponds to weeks gestation ±2 cm). Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) screening at 15-20 weeks (neural tube defects, abdominal wall defects). Anomaly ultrasound at

NUR 166 Exam 1 Hondros Concepts of Family-Centered
Nursing Practical Nurse 2026/2027 Test Bank with
Verified Answers and Detailed Rationales Grade A
Question 1
What is the normal magnesium level for a pregnant woman?
• A. 2 to 4 mg
• B. 4 to 8 mg
• C. 8 to 12 mg
• D. 10 to 15 mg
Correct Answer: B. 4 to 8 mg
Rationale:
1. The source indicates B is correct.
2. Normal magnesium levels in pregnancy range from 4 to 8 mg.
3. Magnesium is important for muscle and nerve function.
4. Levels above 8 mg indicate magnesium toxicity.
Question 2

What is a precipitous birth?
• A. A delivery that is more than 24 hours
• B. A delivery that is less than 3 hours
• C. A delivery requiring forceps
• D. A delivery by cesarean section
Correct Answer: B. A delivery that is less than 3 hours
Rationale:
1. The source indicates B is correct.
2. Precipitous birth is defined as delivery occurring less than 3 hours after
labor begins.
3. It is a rapid labor and delivery process.
4. This can pose risks to both mother and baby.
Question 3
What are concerns with a precipitous birth?
• A. Baby receives too much oxygen
• B. Babies' oxygen from intense contractions and mom fatigue
• C. Mom has too much energy
• D. Baby is too large
,3|Page
Correct Answer: B. Babies' oxygen from intense contractions and mom
fatigue
Rationale:
1. The source indicates B is correct.
2. Intense contractions can reduce oxygen supply to the baby.
3. Maternal fatigue is a concern due to rapid labor.
4. These factors can lead to fetal distress.
Question 4
What helps make labor less painful?
• A. Oxytocin (Pitocin)
• B. Cervidil (suppository)
• C. Cytotec
• D. All of the above
Correct Answer: D. All of the above
Rationale:
1. The source indicates D is correct.
2. Oxytocin (Pitocin) is used to induce or augment labor.
3. Cervidil is a suppository used for cervical ripening.
, 4|Page
4. Cytotec (misoprostol) is also used for cervical ripening and labor
induction.
Question 5
What is isoimmunization?
• A. When the Rh (+) mom creates antibodies to destroy Rh (-) blood cells
• B. When the Rh (-) mom creates antibodies to destroy Rh (+) blood cells
• C. When blood types are compatible
• D. When no antibodies are produced
Correct Answer: B. When the Rh (-) mom creates antibodies to destroy Rh
(+) blood cells
Rationale:
1. The source indicates B is correct.
2. Isoimmunization occurs when an Rh-negative mother develops
antibodies against Rh-positive blood.
3. This can happen if fetal Rh-positive blood enters the maternal
circulation.
4. It can cause hemolytic disease in subsequent pregnancies.
