1. The opening up of hospital visiting policies for children and families
J J J J J J J J J J J
likely resultedfrom the work of which individual?
J J J J J J
A. Joseph Brennaman J
B. John Bowlby J
C. Marshal Klaus J
D. JohnKennell J J
Answer: B J
Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his
J J J J J J J J J
study that revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother because of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
hospitalization. His work led toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting policies for J J J J J J J J J J J J J
children. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for infants contributed to high
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
infant mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and 1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus and John
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
Kennell carried out importantstudies on the effect of the separation of newborns and parents.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
They established that early separation may have long-term effects on family relationships and
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
that offering the new family an opportunity to be together at birth and for a significant period
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
after birth may provide benefitsthat last well into early childhood.

2. An expectant mother states that she read that more black mothers die in childbirth than do
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
white mothers. When responding to her questions about the reasons for this, the nurse
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
accurately states that which is the major reason for the high maternal mortality rate?
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
A. Having formal education. J J
B. Being unmarried. J
C. Income.
D. Lack of prenatal care. J J J
Answer: D J
Rationale: Research shows that maternal mortality rate is directly related to lack of prenatal care
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
secondary to lack of access to services or insurance. Income as well as educational level may
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
play a role in the availability of health care, but they are not directly responsible. Being
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
unmarried has no bearing on infant mortality. J J J J J J

3. Which statement correctly defines the term "infant death rate"?
J J J J J J J J
A. number of deaths in utero of fetuses 500 g or more per 1,000 live births
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
B. number of deaths occurring in the first 28 days of life per 1,000 live births
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
C. number of deaths occurring at birth or in the first 12 months of life per1,000 live births
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
D. death of a live-born child before his or her first birthday.
J J J J J J J J J J
Answer: D J
Rationale: The term infant death refers to the death of a live-born child before he or she
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
reaches age 1 year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal mortality rate is the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
number of infant deaths during the first 28 days of life for every 1,000 live births. Infant
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
mortality rate is the number of deaths during the first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births. Question

4. The nursing instructor is preparing to teach a group of students about the history of maternity care.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
What major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing the practice of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
maternity care in the United States over the past century?
J J J J J J J J J
A. technologic advances and the use of forceps by primary care providers J J J J J J J J J J
B. development of anesthesia and acceptance of the germ theory J J J J J J J J
C. advent of birthing centers and the development of family-centered care
J J J J J J J J J
D. development of pediatric specialty and replacement of midwives as primary birth attendants J J J J J J J J J J J J
Answer: B J
Rationale: The emphasis should be placed on anesthesia and the germ theory. The development of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth; the germ theory advanced the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
progress of general health care and decreased infections in laboring women. Pediatrics as a
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
specialty is an important step forward but is not the greatest development, and midwives are
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
still in practice. Maternity care continues to evolve, and birthing centers are still under
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
development. Forceps are not considered an advance in maternity care. J J J J J J J J J

5. When preparing a client for surgery, the nurse explains that the use of an antiseptic during
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
the surgery has greatly improved client survival rates and was started by which physician?
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
A. Louis Pasteur J
B. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis J J
C. Joseph Lister J
D. AlexanderGordon J J
Answer: C J
Rationale: Joseph Lister was a British surgeon who embraced Louis Pasteur's theory of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
microorganisms as the cause of infection. Lister used carbolic acid as an antiseptic during J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
surgery and improved the survival rates of his patients. Alexander Gordon proposed the theory of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
infection. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ignaz Philip Semmelweis confirmed his theory.

6. A young couple are very excited to learn they are expecting their first child and question
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
the nurse about which test they need to discover its gender. Which procedure will best provide this
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
information to the couple? J J J
A. Ultrasound
B. Amniocentesis
C. Chorionic villus sampling J J
D. HGP
Answer: A J
Rationale: Ultrasound is a visual method for assessing the fetus in the uterus and will provide
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
information about the gender. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling provide the entire
J J J J J J J J J J J J
genetic code of the fetus. HGP refers to the Human Genome Project, which can provide
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
information regarding gene mutations and variations. J J J J J
