infant health and available care. Infant mortality statistics compares the health with
those of other countries and not with those of other states.

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 CORRECT ANSWER: 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.
