Infant mortality statistics provide an index of a country's general health, measures
II II II II II II II II II II II
thequality of pregnancy care, provides information on overall nutrition, and
II I II II II II II II II II II
determines infant health and available care. Infant mortality statistics compares the

health with those of other countries and not with those of other states.

careAns: D
II I II
Feedback:
Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a family's
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
functioning is important to the health status of its members. A healthy family
II II II II II II II II II II II II II
establishesan environment conducive to growth and health-promoting behaviors to

sustain family members during crises. A family-centered approach enables nurses to
II II II II II II II II II II II
better understand individuals and their effect on others and, in turn, to provide more
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
holistic care. Primarynursing, team nursing, and case management do not necessary take
II II II I II II II II II II II II II
into consideration the maternal and child care continuum.

5. The nurse has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal and

(Select allthat apply.)

familiesAns: A, C, E
II I II II II
Feedback:
Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller, more
II II II II II II II II II II II II
mothers are employed out of the home, and there are more single-parent families.
II II II II II II II II II II II II II
Thereis an increase in domestic violence, and families are less stable and more mobile,

maternalmortality rates?

A) Earlier prenatal care II II
B) Gestational hypertension II
C) Increased vaginal deliveries II II
D) Treatment for chronic II II
diseasesAns: B
II I II
Feedback:
This increasing rate in maternal mortality is associated with more cesarean births, more

gestational hypertension related to preexisting hypertensive disorders, and lack of

healthinsurance for many Americans. This increase is not because of earlier prenatal

care, increased vaginal deliveries, or treatment for chronic diseases.

visitbecause the mother is losing income from missing work because of the office

visits. What does this new mother's issue indicate to the nurse?
II II II II II II II II II II II
A) The mother needs to find an alternative employer. II II II II II II II
B) The mother's income is more important that the baby's health. II II II II II II II II II

Feedback:
An area that needs additional research is finding effective stimuli to encourage women

missing work for well-baby visits will deter health maintenance visits for the baby

goingforward. This mother's issue does not indicate that the mother needs to find

another job, that the mother's income is more important that the baby's health, or that the
