When providing care for a pregnant woman, the nurse should be aware that one of the most
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
frequently reported maternal medical risk factors is:
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
* A. Diabetes mellitus.
y y yy
B. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP).
y y yy yy yy
C. Chronic hypertension.
y y yy
D. Anemia. y y
Correct Answer: yy y y A
yy Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: A y y
The most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors are diabetes and hypertension
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
associated with pregnancy. Both of these conditions are associated with maternal obesity. There
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
are no studies that indicate MVP is among the most frequently reported maternal risk factors.
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
Hypertension associated with pregnancy, not chronic hypertension, is one of the most frequently
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
reported maternal medical risk factors. Although anemia is a concern in pregnancy, it is not
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
one of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors in pregnancy.

To ensure optimal outcomes for the patient, the contemporary maternity nurse must incorporate
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
both teamwork and communication with clinicians into her care delivery, The SBAR technique of
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
communication is an easy-to-remember mechanism for communication. Which of the following
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
correctly defines this acronym?
yy yy yy yy
A. Situation, baseline assessment, response yy yy yy
* B. Situation, background, assessment, recommendation
y y yy yy yy
C. Subjective background, assessment, recommendation yy yy yy
D. Situation, background, anticipated recommendation yy yy yy
Correct Answer: B yy y y
yy Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: y y B
, The situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) technique provides a specific
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
framework for communication among health care providers. Failure to communicate is one of
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
the major reasons for errors in health care. The SBAR technique has the potential to serve as
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
a means to reduce errors.

The role of the professional nurse caring for childbearing families has evolved to emphasize:
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
A. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside. yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
B. Primarily hospital care of maternity patients. yy yy yy yy yy
* C. Practice using an evidence-based approach.
y y yy yy yy yy
D. Planning patient care to cover longer hospital stays.
y y yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
Correct Answer: yy y y C
yy Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: C y y
Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care for
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
patients throughout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside is
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
one of the nurse‟s tasks; however, it does not encompass the concept of the evolved
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
professional nurse. Throughout the prenatal period, nurses care for women in clinics and
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
physician‟s offices and teach classes to help families prepare for childbirth. Nurses also care
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
for childbearing families in birthing centers and in the home. Nurses have been critically
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
important in developing strategies to improve the well-being of women and their infants and
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
have led the efforts to implement clinical practice guidelines using an evidence-based
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
approach. Maternity patients have experienced a decreased, rather than an increased, length of
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
stay over the past 2 decades.

A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
infant mortality, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
A. Perform a nutrition assessment. yy yy yy
B. Refer the woman to a social worker. yy yy yy yy yy yy
C. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
* D. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
y y yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
Correct Answer: yy y y D
, Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: D y y
Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but a nutrition
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
assessment is not the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
may need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
woman has identifiable high-risk problems, her health care may need to be provided by a
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
physician.
yy
However, it cannot be assumed that all African-American women have high-risk issues. In
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspect on which
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or manage
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
the type of care a patient is to receive.

During a prenatal intake interview, the nurse is in the process of obtaining an initial assessment
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
of a 21-year-old Hispanic patient with limited English proficiency. It is important for the nurse
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
to:
yy
A. Use maternity jargon in order for the patient to become familiar with these terms.
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
B. Speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit.
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
C. Provide the patient with handouts. yy yy yy yy
* D. Assess whether the patient understands the discussion.
y y yy yy yy yy yy yy
Correct Answer: D yy y y
yy Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: D y y
Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words; avoiding jargon; and
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
evaluating whether the patient understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and clearly and
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
focusing on what is important increase understanding. Most patient education materials are
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
written at too high a level for the average adult and may not be useful for a client with limited
yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy
English proficiency.
