MULTIPLE CHOICE ss




1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to hospital births
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


in the early 20th century?
ss ss ss ss ss


a. Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery. ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


b. Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births. ss ss ss ss ss ss


c. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


d. Technologic developments became available to physicians. ss ss ss ss ss




ANS: D ss


Technologic developments were available to physicians, not lay midwives. So in-hospital
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


births increased in order to take advantage of these advancements. Puerperal sepsis has
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


been a known problem for generations. In the late 19th century, Semmelweis discovered
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


how it could be prevented with improved hygienic practices. The development of forceps
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


is an example of a technology advance made in the early 20th century but is not the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


only reason birthplaces moved. Unlike home births, early hospital births hindered
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


bonding between parents and their infants.

2. Family-centered maternity care developed in response to ss ss ss ss ss ss


a. demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth. ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


b. the Sheppard-TownerAct of 1921.
ss s ss ss


c. parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them rather than
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


in a nursery.
ss ss ss


d. changes in pharmacologic management of labor. ss ss ss ss ss




ANS: C ss


As research began to identify the benefits of early extended parent-infant contact,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


parents began to insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually developed into
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


the practice of rooming-in and finally to family-centered maternity care. Family-
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


centered care was a request by parents, not physicians. The Sheppard-Towner Act of
s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


1921 provided funds for state-managed programs for mothers and children. The
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in family-centered
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


maternity care.

3. Which setting for childbirth allows the least amount of parent-infant contact?
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


a. Labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room
b. Birth center ss


c. Traditional hospital birth ss ss


d. Home birth ss




.

, ANS: C ss


In the traditional hospital setting, the mother may see the infant for only short feeding
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


periods, and the infant is cared for in a separate nursery. The
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room setting allows increased parent-infant contact.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in parent-infant contact. Home births allow
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


an increase in parent-infant contact.

4. As a result of changes in health care delivery and funding, a current trend seen in
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


ss the pediatric setting is
ss ss ss


a. increased hospitalization of children. ss ss ss


b. decreased number of children living in poverty. ss ss ss ss ss ss


c. an increase in ambulatory care.
ss ss ss ss


d. decreased use of managed care. ss ss ss ss




ANS: C ss


One effect of managed care has been that pediatric health care delivery has shifted
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


dramatically from the acute care setting to the ambulatory setting in order to provide
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


more cost-efficient care. The number of hospital beds being used has decreased as
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


more care is given in outpatient settings and in the home. The number of children
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


living in poverty has increased over the past decade. One of the biggest changes in
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


health care has been the growth of managed care.

5. The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program provides
s ss ss ss ss ss ss


a. well-child examinations for infants and children living at the poverty level.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


b. immunizations for high-risk infants and children. ss ss ss ss ss


c. screening for infants with developmental disorders. ss ss ss ss ss


d. supplemental food supplies to low-income pregnant or breastfeeding women. ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ANS: D ss


WIC is a federal program that provides supplemental food supplies to low-income
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and to their children until age 5 years.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


Medicaid‘s Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment Program provides
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


for well-child examinations and for treatment of any medical problems diagnosed
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


during such checkups. Children in the WIC program are often referred for
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


immunizations, but that is not the primary focus of the program. Public Law 99-457 is
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that provides financial
ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss ss ss ss


incentives to states to establish comprehensive early intervention services for infants
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


and toddlers with, or at risk for, developmental disabilities.

6. In most states, adolescents who are not emancipated minors must have the permission
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


of their parents before
ss ss ss ss


.

, a. treatment for drug abuse. ss ss ss


b. treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). ss ss ss ss ss


c. accessing birth control. ss ss


d. surgery.
ANS: D ss


Minors are not considered capable of giving informed consent, so a surgical procedure
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


would require consent of the parent or guardian. Exceptions exist for obtaining treatment
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


for drug abuse or STDs or for getting birth control in most states.

7. The maternity nurse should have a clear understanding of the correct use of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


a clinical pathway. One characteristic of clinical pathways is that they
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


a. are developed and implemented by nurses.
ss ss ss ss ss


b. are used primarily in the pediatric setting.
ss ss ss ss ss ss


c. set specific time lines for sequencing interventions.
ss ss ss ss ss ss


d. are part of the nursing process.
ss ss ss ss ss




ANS: C ss


Clinical pathways are standardized, interdisciplinary plans of care devised for patients
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


with a particular health problem. They are used to identify patient outcomes, specify
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


time lines to achieve those outcomes, direct appropriate interventions and sequencing
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


of interventions, include interventions from a variety of disciplines, promote
ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


collaboration, and involve a comprehensive approach to care. They are developed
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


by multiple health care professionals and reflect interdisciplinary care. They can be
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


used in multiple settings and for patients throughout the life span. They are not part of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


the nursing process but can be used in conjunction with the nursing process to
ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


provide care to patients.

ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


a. men and women preparing for retirement.
ss ss ss ss ss


b. migrant workers. ss


c. single women and their children. ss ss ss ss


d. intravenous (IV) substance abusers. ss ss ss




ANS: C ss


Pregnancy and birth, especially for a teenager, are important contributing factors for
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


becoming homeless. People preparing for retirement, migrant workers, and IV substance
s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


abusers are not among the fastest growing groups of homeless people.
