The.nurse.is.speaking.to.students.about.changes.in.maternal–newborn.care..One.change.is.that.self-
care.has.gained.wide.acceptance.with.patients,.the.healthcare.community,.and.third-
party.payers.due.to.research.findings.that.suggest.that.it:

1. Shortens.newborn.length.of.stay.

2. Decreases.use.of.home.health.agencies.

3. Reduces.healthcare.costs.

re.agencies.often.are.involved.in.patient.care.to.decrease.hospital.stay.time.

Rationale.2:.Home.healthcare.agencies.often.are.involved.in.patient.care.to.decrease.hospital.stay.time.

Rationale.3:.Research.indicates.self-care.significantly.reduces.healthcare.costs.

Rationale.4:.Acute.emergencies.are.addressed.by.emergency.departments,.and.are.not.delayed. by.those.practicing.self-
care.

Question.3

The.nurse.is.telling.a.new.patient.how.technology.used.in.maternal–
newborn.care.has.changed.the.way.the.nurse.cares.for.her.patients..An.example.of.this.is:

nologies.that.have.affected.the.care.in.labor.and.delivery.areas.

Rationale.2:.A.nurse-midwife.and.a.doula.are.not.examples.of.technological.care.

Rationale.3:.Fathers’.being.present.during.labor.and.coaching.their.partners.represents.nontechnological.care.during.
