centered care.
c. Demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth
increased the practice of family-centered care.
d. Parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with
them rather than in a professional nursery initiated the
practice of family-centered care.
CORRECT ANS: D
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. The Sheppard-Towner Act provided funds for
state-managed programs for mothers and children but did not promote
family-centered care. The changes in pharmacologic management of labor
were not a factor in family-centered maternity care. Family-centered care
was a request by parents, not physicians.

nursery. Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in parent–infant
contact. Home births allow the greatest amount of parent–infant contact.
The labor, birth, recovery, and postpartum room setting allows for increased
parent–infant contact.

expensive than a traditional hospital room. The baby remains with the
mother at all times and is not removed to the professional nursery for
routine care or testing. The father or other designated members of the
mother’s support system are encouraged to stay at all times.

4. Which nursing intervention is an independent function of the professional
professional nurse?
a. Administering oral analgesics

Professional nurses are now responsible for various independent functions,
including teaching, counseling, and intervening in nonmedical problems.
Interventions initiated by the physician and carried out by the professional
nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral analgesics is a
dependentfunction; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by a
professional nurse.
Requesting diagnostic studies is a dependent function. Providing wound
care is a dependent function; however, the physician prescribes the type
of wound care through direct orders or protocol.

a. “Everything will be OK.”
b. “Don’t worry about it. It will be over soon.”
c. “What concerns you most about a cesarean birth?”
d. “The physician will be in later and you can talk to him.”
CORRECT ANS: C
The response, “What concerns you most about a cesarean birth” focuses
on what the client is saying and asks for clarification, which is the most
therapeutic response. The response, “Everything will be ok” is belittling
the client’s feelings. The response, “Don’t worry about it. It will be over
soon” will indicate that the client’s feelings are not important. The
response, “The physician will be in later and you can talk to him” does not
allow the client to verbalize her feelings when she wishes to do that.

6. In which step of the nursing process does the professional nurse
determine theappropriate interventions for the identified nursing
diagnosis?
a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Intervention
CORRECT ANS: A
The third step in the nursing process involves planning care for problems
that were identified during assessment. The evaluation phase is
determining whether the goals have been met.
During the assessment phase, data are collected. The intervention phase
is when the plan of care is carried out.
