MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
Chapter 01: Foundations of Maternity, Women’s Health, and Child Health Nursing
McKinney: Evolve Resources for Maternal-Child Nursing, 6th Edition
⦁ Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to
hospital births in the early 20th century?
⦁ Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery.
⦁ Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births.
⦁ The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
⦁ Technologic developments became available to physicians.
ANS: D
Technologic developments were available to physicians, not lay midwives.
So in-hospital births increased in order to take advantage of these
advancements. Puerperal sepsis has been a known problem for generations.
In the late 19th century, Semmelweis discovered how it could be prevented
with improved hygienic practices. The development of forceps is an
example of a technology advance made in the early 20th century but is not
the only reason birthplaces moved. Unlike home births, early hospital

, births hindered bonding between parents and their infants.

⦁ Family-centered maternity care developed in response to
⦁ demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth.
⦁ the Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921.
⦁ parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with
them rather than in a nursery.
⦁ changes in pharmacologic management of labor.
ANS: C
As research began to identify the benefits of early extended parent-infant
contact, parents began to insist that the infant remain with them. This
gradually developed into the practice of rooming-in and finally to family-
centered maternity care. Family-centered care was a request by parents,
not physicians. The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 provided funds for
state-managed programs for mothers and children. The changes in
pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in family-centered
maternity care.
