1. When providing care for a pregnant woman, the nurse should be aware that one of the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors is:
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


a. diabetes mellitus. ss


b. mitral valve prolapse (MVP). ss ss ss


c. chronic hypertension. ss


d. anemia.
ANS: s s A
The most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors are diabetes and hypertension
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


associated with pregnancy. Both of these conditions are associated with maternal obesity.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


There are no studies that indicate MVP is among the most frequently reported maternal
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


risk factors. Hypertension associated with pregnancy, not chronic hypertension, is one of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors. Although anemia is a concern in
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


pregnancy, it is not one of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors in
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


pregnancy.

specific framework for communication among health care providers. Failure to

Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


for patients throughout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


bedside is one of the nurse's tasks; however, it does not encompass the concept of the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


evolved professional nurse. Throughout the prenatal period, nurses care for women in
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


clinics and
ss ss


physician's offices and teach classes to help families prepare for childbirth. Nurses also
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


care for childbearing families in birthing centers and in the home. Nurses have been
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


critically important in developing strategies to improve the well-being of women and their
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


infants and have led the efforts to implement clinical practice guidelines using an
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


evidence-based approach. Maternity patients have experienced a decreased, rather than an
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


increased, length of stay over the past two decades.

4. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


the statistics for infant mortality, which plan is most important for the nurse to
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


implement?
ss


a. Perform a nutrition assessment. ss ss ss


b. Refer the woman to a social worker. ss ss ss ss ss ss


c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife. ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ANS: s s D
Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


associated with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


but a nutrition assessment is not the most important action a nurse should take in this
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


situation. The patient may need assistance from a s o ci alNwUoRrSkIeNrGaTt Bs .oCmO eMt i m e during
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



her pregnancy, but a referral to
ss ss ss ss ss ss

a social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


woman has identifiable high risk problems, her health care may need to be provided by a
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


physician. However, it cannot be assumed that all African-American women have high
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


aspect on which the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


to advise or manage the type of care a patient is to receive.

5. During a prenatal intake interview, the nurse is in the process of obtaining an initial
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


assessment of a 21-year-old Hispanic patient with limited English proficiency. It is
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


important for the nurse to:
ss ss ss ss ss


a. use maternity jargon in order for the patient to become familiar with these terms.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


b. speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit. ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


c. provide the patient with handouts. ss ss ss ss


d. assess whether the patient understands the discussion. ss ss ss ss ss ss




ANS: s s D
Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words; avoiding jargon; and
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


evaluating whether the patient understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and clearly and
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


focusing on what is important increase understanding. Most patient education materials are
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


written at too high a level for the average adult and may not be useful for a patient with
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


limited English proficiency.

6. When managing health care for pregnant women at a prenatal clinic, the nurse
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


should recognize that the most significant barrier to access to care is the pregnant
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


woman's:
ss


a. age.
b. minority status. ss


c. educational level. ss


d. inability to pay. ss ss




ANS: s s D
The most significant barrier to health care access is the inability to pay for services; this is
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


compounded by the fact that many physicians refuse to care for women who cannot pay.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


Although adolescent pregnant patients statistically receive less prenatal care, age is not the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


most significant barrier. Significant disparities in morbidity and mortality rates exist for
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


minority women; however, minority status is not the most significant barrier to access of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


care. Disparities in educational level are associated with morbidity and mortality rates;
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


however, educational level is not the most significant barrier to access of care.

7. When the nurse is unsure about how to perform a patient care procedure, the best
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


action would be to:
ss ss ss ss


a. ask another nurse. ss ss


b. discuss the procedure with theNpUaRtiSeInNtG

c. look up the procedure in a nursing textbook.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


d. consult the agency's procedure manual and follow the guidelines for
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


the procedure.
ss ss




ANS: s s D
It is always best to follow the agency's policies and procedures manual when seeking
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


information on correct patient procedures. These policies should reflect the current
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


standards of care and state guidelines. Each nurse is responsible for her own practice.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


Relying on another nurse may not always be safe practice. Each nurse is obligated to
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


follow the standards of care for safe patient care delivery. Physicians are responsible for
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


their own patient care activity. Nurses may follow safe orders from physicians, but they
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


are also responsible for the activities that they as nurses are to carry out. Information
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


provided in a nursing textbook is basic information for general knowledge. Furthermore,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


the information in a textbook may not reflect the current standard of care or individual
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


state or hospital policies.
