MULTIPLE CHOICE ry
1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to hospital births in the
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
early 20th century? ry ry
a. Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery. ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
b. Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births. ry ry ry ry ry ry
c. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
d. Technologic developments became available to physicians. ry ry ry ry ry
ANS: D r y
Technologic developments were available to physicians, not lay midwives. So in-
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
hospital births increased in order to take advantage of these advancements. Puerperal sepsis has
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry r
been a known problem for generations. In the late 19th century, Semmelweis discovered how it
y ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
could be prevented with improved hygienic practices. The development of forceps is an exampl
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
e of a technology advance made in the early 20th century but is not the only reason birthplaces
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
moved. Unlike home births, early hospital births hindered bonding between parents and their in
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
fants.

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

3. Which setting for childbirth allows the least amount of parent-infant contact?
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
a. Labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room ry
, b. Birth center ry
c. Traditional hospital birth ry ry
d. Home birth ry
ANS: C r y
In the traditional hospital setting, the mother may see the infant for only short feeding periods, a
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
nd the infant is cared for in a separate nursery. The labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room se
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
tting allows increased parent- ry ry ry
infant contact. Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in parent-
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
infant contact. Home births allow an increase in parent-infant contact.

4. As a result of changes in health care delivery and funding, a current trend seen in the pediatric se
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
tting is ry
a. increased hospitalization of children. ry ry ry
b. decreased number of children living in poverty. ry ry ry ry ry ry
c. an increase in ambulatory care. ry ry ry ry
d. decreased use of managed care. ry ry ry ry
ANS: C r y
One effect of managed care has been that pediatric health care delivery has shifted dramaticall
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
y from the acute care setting to the ambulatory setting in order to provide more cost-
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
efficient care. The number of hospital beds being used has decreased as more care is given in o
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
utpatient settings and in the home. The number of children living in poverty has increased over
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
the past decade. One of the biggest changes in health care has been the growth of managed care

5. The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program provides
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
a. well-child examinations for infants and children living at the poverty level. ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
b. immunizations for high-risk infants and children. ry ry ry ry ry
c. screening for infants with developmental disorders. ry ry ry ry ry
d. supplemental food supplies to low-income pregnant or breastfeeding women. ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
ANS: D r y
WIC is a federal program that provides supplemental food supplies to low-
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
income women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and to their children until age 5 years. Medic
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
aid’s Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment Program provides for well-
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
child examinations and for treatment of any medical problems diagnosed during such checkups
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
. Children in the WIC program are often referred for immunizations, but that is not the primary
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
focus of the program. Public Law 99- ry ry ry ry ry ry
457 is part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that provides financial incentives t
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
o states to establish comprehensive early intervention services for infants and toddlers with, or
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
at risk for, developmental disabilities.

ANS: D r y
Minors are not considered capable of giving informed consent, so a surgical procedure would re

quire consent of the parent or guardian. Exceptions exist for obtaining treatment for drug abuse
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
or STDs or for getting birth control in most states.

7. The maternity nurse should have a clear understanding of the correct use of a clinical p
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
athway. One characteristic of clinical pathways is that they
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
a. are developed and implemented by nurses.
ry ry ry ry ry
b. are used primarily in the pediatric setting.
ry ry ry ry ry ry
c. set specific time lines for sequencing interventions.
ry ry ry ry ry ry
d. are part of the nursing process. ry ry ry ry ry
ANS: C r y
Clinical pathways are standardized, interdisciplinary plans of care devised for patients with a p
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
articular health problem. They are used to identify patient outcomes, specify time lines to achi
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
eve those outcomes, direct appropriate interventions and sequencing of interventions, include
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
interventions from a variety of disciplines, promote collaboration, and involve a comprehensi
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
ve approach to care. They are developed by multiple health care professionals and reflect inter
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
disciplinary care. They can be used in multiple settings and for patients throughout the life spa
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
n. They are not part of the nursing process but can be used in conjunction with the nursing pro
ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry ry
cess to provide care to patients.
