1. The opening up of hospital visiting policies for children and families
m m m m m m m m m m



likely resultedfrom the work of which individual?
m m m m m m m



A. Joseph Brennaman m



B. John Bowlby m



C. Marshal Klaus m



D. John Kennell m




Answer: B
m m




Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his
m m m m m m m m m



study that revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother because of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mhospitalization. His work led toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting policies for
m m m m m m m m m m m m



mchildren. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for infants contributed to
m m m m m m m m m m m m



mhigh infant mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and 1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



m and John Kennell carried out importantstudies on the effect of the separation of
m m m m m m m m m m m m



m newborns and parents. They established that early separation may have long-term effects
m m m m m m m m m m m



m on family relationships and that offering the new family an opportunity to be together at
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



m birth and for a significant period after birth may provide benefitsthat last well into early
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



m childhood.

2. An expectant mother states that she read that more black mothers die in childbirth than
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



do white mothers. When responding to her questions about the reasons for this, the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mnurse accurately states that which is the major reason for the high maternal mortality
m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mrate?
A. Having formal education. m m



B. Being unmarried. m



C. Income.
D. Lack of prenatal care. m m m




Answer: D m




Rationale: Research shows that maternal mortality rate is directly related to lack of prenatal
m m m m m m m m m m m m m



care secondary to lack of access to services or insurance. Income as well as educational
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mlevel may play a role in the availability of health care, but they are not directly
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mresponsible. Being unmarried has no bearing on infant mortality.

3. Which statement correctly defines the term "infant death rate"?
m m m m m m m m



A. number of deaths in utero of fetuses 500 g or more per 1,000 live births
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



B. number of deaths occurring in the first 28 days of life per 1,000 live births
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



C. number of deaths occurring at birth or in the first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



D. death of a live-born child before his or her first birthday.
m m m m m m m m m m




Answer: D m




Rationale: The term infant death refers to the death of a live-born child before he or she
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



reaches age 1 year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal mortality rate is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mthe number of infant deaths during the first 28 days of life for every 1,000 live births.

4. The nursing instructor is preparing to teach a group of students about the history of maternity
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



care. What major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing the
m m m m m m m m m m m m



mpractice of maternity care in the United States over the past century?
m m m m m m m m m m m



A. technologic advances and the use of forceps by primary care providers
m m m m m m m m m m



B. development of anesthesia and acceptance of the germ theory m m m m m m m m



C. advent of birthing centers and the development of family-centered care
m m m m m m m m m



D. development of pediatric specialty and replacement of midwives as primary birth
m m m m m m m m m m




attendants Answer: B
m m m




Rationale: The emphasis should be placed on anesthesia and the germ theory. The
m m m m m m m m m m m m



development of anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth; the germ
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



theory advanced the progress of general health care and decreased infections in laboring
m m m m m m m m m m m m m



women. Pediatrics as a specialty is an important step forward but is not the greatest
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mdevelopment, and midwives are still in practice. Maternity care continues to evolve, and
m m m m m m m m m m m m



mbirthing centers are still under development. Forceps are not considered an advance in
m m m m m m m m m m m m



mmaternity care. m

5. When preparing a client for surgery, the nurse explains that the use of an antiseptic
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



during the surgery has greatly improved client survival rates and was started by which
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



physician?
m



A. Louis Pasteur m



B. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis m m



C. Joseph Lister m



D. Alexander Gordon m




Answer: C
m m




Rationale: Joseph Lister was a British surgeon who embraced Louis Pasteur's theory
m m m m m m m m m m m



mof microorganisms as the cause of infection. Lister used carbolic acid as an antiseptic
m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mduring surgery and improved the survival rates of his patients. Alexander Gordon proposed
m m m m m m m m m m m m



the theory of infection. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ignaz Philip Semmelweis

6. A young couple are very excited to learn they are expecting their first child and
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mquestion the nurse about which test they need to discover its gender. Which procedure will
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



mbest provide this information to the couple?
m m m m m m



A. Ultrasound
B. Amniocentesis
C. Chorionic villus sampling m m



D. HGP

Answer: A m




Rationale: Ultrasound is a visual method for assessing the fetus in the uterus and will provide
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



information about the gender. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling provide the entire
m m m m m m m m m m m m



genetic code of the fetus. HGP refers to the Human Genome Project, which can provide
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m



information regarding gene mutations and variations.
