24. Healthy People 2020 has established national health priorities that focus on a number of
maternal-child
health indicators. Nurses are assuming greater roles in assessing family health and providing
care across the
perinatal continuum. Therefore it is important for the nurse to be aware that significant
progress has been made
in:
a. The reduction of fetal deaths and use of prenatal care.
b. Low birth weight and preterm birth.
c. Elimination of health disparities based on race.
d. Infant mortality and the prevention of birth defects.
ANS: A
Trends in maternal child health indicate that progress has been made in relation to reduced
infant and fetal deaths and increased prenatal care. Notable gaps remain in the rates of low
birth weight and preterm births.
According to the March of Dimes, persistent disparities still exist between African Americans
and non- Hispanic Caucasians. Many of these negative outcomes are preventable through
access to prenatal care and the use of preventive health practices. This demonstrates the need
for comprehensive community-based care for all mothers, infants, and families.
