Feedback:
Infant mortality statistics provide an index of a country's general health, measures the
quality of pregnancy care, provides information on overall nutrition, and determines
infant health and available care. Infant mortality statistics compares the health with
those of other countries and not with those of other states.
2. The nurse is providing care in an organization that supports the maternal and child care
continuum. Which type of patient care area is an example of this approach?
A) Primary care
B) Team nursing
C) Case management
D) Family-centered care
Ans: D
Feedback:
Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a family's
functioning is important to the health status of its members. A healthy family establishes
an environment conducive to growth and health-promoting behaviors to sustain family
members during crises. A family-centered approach enables nurses to better understand
individuals and their effect on others and, in turn, to provide more holistic care. Primary
nursing, team nursing, and case management do not necessary take into consideration
the maternal and child care continuum.
