MULTIPLE CHOICE


1. A nurse educator is teaching a group of nursing students about the history of family-centered
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




maternity care. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching session?
J J J J J J J J J J J




a. The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 promoted family-centered care.
J J J J J J J




b. Changes in pharmacologic management of labor prompted family-centered care.
J J J J J J J J




c. Demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth increased the practice of
J J J J J J J J J J J J




family-centered care. J




d. Parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them rather than in a
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nursery initiated the practice of family-centered care.
J J J J J J




ANS: D J




As research began to identify the benefits of early, extended parent–infant contact, parents
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




began to insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually developed into the practice of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




rooming-in and finally to family-centered maternity care. The Sheppard-Towner Act provided
J J J J J J J J J J J




funds for state-managed programs for mothers and children but did not promote
J J J J J J J J J J J




family-centered care. The changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




family-centered maternity care. Family-centered care was a request by parents, not physicians.

c. Traditional hospital birth J J

d. Labor, birth, and recovery room J J J J




ANS: C J




In the traditional hospital setting, the mother may see the infant for only short feeding periods, and
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




the infant is cared for in a separate nursery. Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in parent–
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




infant contact. Home births allow the greatest amount of parent–infant contact. The labor, birth,
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




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
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




(LDRP) room? J




a. The family is in a familiar environment.
J J J J J J




b. They are less expensive than traditional hospital rooms.
J J J J J J J




c. The infant is removed to the nursery to allow the mother to rest.
J J J J J J J J J J J J




d. The woman‘s support system is encouraged to stay until discharge.
J J J J J J J J J




ANS: D J




Sleeping equipment is provided in a private room. A hospital setting is never a familiar
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




environment to new parents. An LDRP room is not less expensive than a traditional hospital
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




room. The baby remains with the mother at all times and is not removed to the nursery for routine
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




care or testing. The father or other designated members of the mother‘s support system are
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




encouraged to stay at all times. J J J J J

4. Which nursing intervention is an independent function of the professional nurse?
J J J J J J J J J J




a. Administering oral analgesics J J




b. Requesting diagnostic studies J J




c. Teaching the patient perineal care J J J J




d. Providing wound care to a surgical incision J J J J J J




ANS: C J




Nurses are now responsible for various independent functions, including teaching, counseling,
J J J J J J J J J J




and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by the physician and carried out
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




by the nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral analgesics is a dependent
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




Tes Bank

function; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by a nurse. Requesting diagnostic studies is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




a dependent function. Providing wound care is a dependent function; however, the physician
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




prescribes the type of wound care through direct orders or protocol.

5. Which response bythe nurse is the most therapeutic when the patient states, ―I‘m so afraid to have
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




a cesarean birth‖?
J J




a. ―Everything will be OK.‖ J J J




b. ―Don‘t worry about it. It will be over soon.‖ J J J J J J J J




c. ―What concerns you most about a cesarean birth?‖ J J J J J J J




d. ―The physician will be in later and you can talk to him.‖ J J J J J J J J J J J




ANS: C J




The response, ―What concerns you most about a cesarean birth‖ focuses on what the patient is saying
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




and asks for clarification, which is the most therapeutic response. The response,
J J J J J J J J J J J




―Everything will be ok‖ is belittling the patient‘s feelings. The response, ―Don‘t worry about it.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




It will be over soon‖ will indicate that the patient‘s feelings are not important. The response,
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




―The physician will be in later and you can talk to him‖ does not allow the patient to verbalize her
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




feelings when she wishes to do that. J J J J J J

6. In which step of the nursing process does the nurse determine the appropriate interventions for the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




identified nursing diagnosis? J J




a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Intervention

ANS: A J




The third step in the nursing process involves planning care for problems that were identified during
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




assessment. The evaluation phase is determining whether the goals have been met.
J J J J J J J J J J J




During the assessment phase, data are collected. The intervention phase is when the plan of care is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




carried out. J

7. Which goal is most appropriate for the collaborative problem of wound infection?
J J J J J J J J J J J




a. The patient will not exhibit further signs of infection.
J J J J J J J J




b. Maintain the patient‘s fluid intake at 1000 mL/8 hour. J J J J J J J J




c. The patient will have a temperature of 98.6F within 2 days.
J J J J J J J J J J




d. Monitor the patient to detect therapeutic response to antibiotic therapy.
J J J J J J J J J




ANS: D J




In a collaborative problem, the goal should be nurse-oriented and reflect the nursing
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




interventions of monitoring or observing. Monitoring for complications such as further signs of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




infection is an independent nursing role. Intake and output is an independent nursing role.

Monitoring a patient‘s temperature is an independent nursing role.

ANS: D J




Interventions might not be carried out if they are not detailed and specific. ―Force fluids‖ is not
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




specific; it does not state how much or how often. Encouraging the patient to turn, cough, and
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




breathe deeply is not detailed or specific. Observing interaction with the infant does not state
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




how often this procedure should be done. Assisting the patient to ambulate for 10 minutes within
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




a certain timeframe is specific.
