Infant mortalitystatistics provide an index of a country's general health, measures
h h h h h h h h h h h
thequality of pregnancy care, provides information on overall nutrition, and determines
h h h h h h h h h h h
infant health and available care. Infant mortalitystatistics compares the health with those of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
other countries and not with those of other states.

Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a family's
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
functioning is important to the health status of its members. A healthyfamily establishesan
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
environment conducive to growth and health-promoting behaviors to sustain family
h h h h h h h h h h
members during crises. A family-centered approach enables nurses to better understand
h h h h h h h h h h h
individuals and their effect on others and, in turn, to provide more holistic care.

health care include advocating the rights for the mother and fetus, teaching health
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
promotion interventions, and assessing the family for strengths and specific needs or
h h h h h h h h h h h h
challenges. Adhering to principles that focus on the needs of the mother and encouraging

maternal hospitalization to regain strength and stamina are not actions that support the

goals of maternal and child health care.

theimportance of health promotion and disease prevention and to encourage wide

participation in improving health in the next decade. These goals do not focus on the early

diagnosis of chronic problems, use of medications to treat disease, or reduce the cost of

health care and medications.

5. The nurse has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal and child
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
health issues. What does the nurse realize as reasons for the changes in care? (Select allthat
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
apply.)
h
A) Smallerfamilies h
B) Less domesticviolence h h
C) Moreemployed mothers h h
D) Stablehome environments h h
E) Moresingle-parent h
families Ans: A, C, E
h I h h h
Feedback:
h
Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller, more
h h h h h h h h h h h h
mothers are employed out of the home, and there are more single-parent families. There is
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h I
an increase in domestic violence, and families are less stableand moremobile,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
whichinfluences homelessness.

6. During an assessment, the nurse asks a patient from a non-English-speaking culture
h h h h h h h h h h h
which types of home remedies and herbs the patient uses for health care. What is
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
thepurpose of asking the patient this question?
h h h h h h h
A) Analyze for herb–druginteractions h h h
B) Understand the patient's philosophyof alternative health care h h h h h h h

D) Explaintothephysicianthepatient'spreference fornontraditional h h h h h h h h

Ans: A h
Feedback:
Assessing what alternative measures are being used is important because the action of an
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
herb can interfere with prescribed medications. Assessing the use of herbal remediesis not
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
done to understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care, determine the types
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
of medications the patient will need to be prescribed, or explain the patient's preferences for
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
nontraditional medicine approaches to the physician.

7. Thenurse notes that statistics on maternal mortality had improved but are again
h h h h h h h h h h h h
becoming elevated. What does the nurse realize as a reason for this change in
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
maternalmortalityrates?
h I h
A) Earlierprenatal care h h
B) Gestational hypertension h
C) Increasedvaginal deliveries h h
D) Treatment for chronic h h
diseases Ans: B
h I h
Feedback:
This increasing rate in maternal mortalityis associated with more cesarean births, more
h h h h h h h h h h h h
gestational hypertension related to preexisting hypertensive disorders, and lack of
h h h h h h h h h h
healthinsurance for many Americans. This increase is not because of earlier prenatal care,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
increased vaginal deliveries, or treatment for chronic diseases.

8. A new mother asks the nurse if all of the new baby's injections can be given in one
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
visit because the mother is losing income from missing work because of the office
h I h h h h h h h h h h h h
visits. What does this new mother's issue indicate to the nurse?
h h h h h h h h h h h
A) Themother needs to find an alternative employer. h h h h h h h
B) Themother's income is moreimportant that thebaby's health. h h h h h h h h h
C) Missingwork does not support the baby's health maintenance visits. h h h h h h h h h
D) The federal government needs to do more to support well-baby h h h h h h h h h
visits.Ans: C
h h
Feedback:
An area that needs additional research is finding effective stimuli to encourage women to
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
bring children for health maintenance visits. The mother losing income because of missing
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
work for well-babyvisits will deter health maintenance visits for the baby goingforward.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h I
This mother's issue does not indicate that the mother needs to find another job, that the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
mother's income is more important that the baby's health, or that the federal government
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
needs to do more to support well-baby visits.
