1. When providing care for a pregnant woman, the nurse should be aware that one of the most f

a. diabetes mellitus. oa



b. mitral valve prolapse (MVP). oa oa oa



c. chronic hypertension. oa



d. anemia.

ANS: A oa



The most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors are diabetes and hypertension asso
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ciated with pregnancy. Both of these conditions are associated with maternal obesity. There ar
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



e no studies that indicate MVP is among the most frequently reported maternal risk factors. H
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ypertension associated with pregnancy, not chronic hypertension, is one of the most frequently

reported maternal medical risk factors. Although anemia is a concern in pregnancy, it is not on

2. To ensure optimal outcomes for the patient, the contemporary maternity nurse must incorpor
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ate both teamwork and communication with clinicians into care delivery. The SBAR techniqu
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



e of communication is an easy-to-
oa oa oa oa oa



remember mechanism for communication. Which of the following correctly defines this acro
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



nym?
a. Situation, baseline assessment, response oa oa oa



b. Situation, background, assessment, recommendation oa oa oa



c. Subjective background, assessment, recommendation oa oa oa



d. Situation, background, anticipated recommendation oa oa oa




ANS: B oa



The situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) technique provides a specifi
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



c framework for communication among health care providers. Failure to communicate is one o
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



f the major reasons for errors in health care. The SBAR technique has the potential to serve as
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



a means to reduce errors.

3. The role of the professional nurse caring for childbearing families has evolved to emphasize
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



a. providing care to patients directly at the bedside. oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



b. primarily hospital care of maternity patients. oa oa oa oa oa



c. practice using an evidence-based approach. oa oa oa oa



d. planning patient care to cover longer hospital stays. oa oa oa oa oa oa oa




ANS: C oa




Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care for p
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



atients throughout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside is o
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ne of the nurse‘s tasks; however, it does not encompass the concept of the evolved professiona
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



l nurse. Throughout the prenatal period, nurses care for women in clinics and physician‘s offic

es and teach classes to help families prepare for childbirth. Nurses also care for childbearing fa

oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



strategies to improve the well-being of women and their infants and
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa




have led the efforts to implement clinical practice guidelines using an evidence-
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



based approach. Maternity patients have experienced a decreased, rather than an increased, len

4. A 23-year-old African-
oa oa



American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for infant mort
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ality, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



a. Perform a nutrition assessment. oa oa oa



b. Refer the woman to a social worker. oa oa oa oa oa oa



c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife. oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa




ANS: D oa



Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but a nutrition a
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ssessment is not the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient ma
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



y need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a so
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



cial worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woma
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



n has identifiable high-
oa oa oa



risk problems, her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



assumed that all African- oa oa oa



American women have high risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



is not the most important aspect on which the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appr
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



opriate for a nurse to advise or manage the type of care a patient is to receive.

5. During a prenatal intake interview, the nurse is in the process of obtaining an initial assessme
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



nt of a 21-year-
oa oa oa



old Hispanic patient with limited English proficiency. It is important for the nurse to
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



a. use maternity jargon in order for the patient to become familiar with these terms.
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



b. speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit. oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



c. provide the patient with handouts. oa oa oa oa



d. assess whether the patient understands the discussion. oa oa oa oa oa oa




ANS: D oa



Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words; avoiding jargon; and eva
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



luating whether the patient understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and clearly and focusi
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ng on what is important increase understanding. Most patient education materials are written a
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



t too high a level for the average adult and may not be useful for a patient with limited English
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa o



proficiency.

6. When managing health care for pregnant women at a prenatal clinic, the nurse should r
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ecognize that the most significant barrier to access to care is the pregnant woman‘s
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



a. age.
b. minority status. oa




PRIMEXAM.COM

, c. educational level. oa



d. inability to pay. oa oa




ANS: D oa



The most significant barrier to health care access is the inability to pay for services; this is co
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



mpounded by the fact that many physicians refuse to care for women who cannot pay. Althou
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



gh adolescent pregnant patients statistically receive less prenatal care, age is not the
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa




most significant barrier. Significant disparities in morbidity and mortality rates exist for minor
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ity women; however, minority status is not the most significant barrier to access of care. Dispar
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ities in educational level are associated with morbidity and mortality rates; however, educatio
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



nal level is not the most significant barrier to access of care.

7. When the nurse is unsure about how to perform a patient care procedure, the best action
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



would be to oa oa



a. ask another nurse. oa oa



b. discuss the procedure with the patient‘s physician. oa oa oa oa oa oa



c. look up the procedure in a nursing textbook. oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



d. consult the agency‘s procedure manual and follow the guidelines for the
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



procedure.
ANS: D oa



It is always best to follow the agency‘s policies and procedures manual when seeking informa
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



tion on correct patient procedures. These policies should reflect the current standards of care a
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



nd state guidelines. Each nurse is responsible for her own practice. Relying on another nurse
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



may not always be safe practice. Each nurse is obligated to follow the standards of care for saf
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



e patient care delivery. Physicians are responsible for their own patient care activity. Nurses m
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ay follow safe orders from physicians, but they are also responsible for the activities that they
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



as nurses are to carry out. Information provided in a nursing textbook is basic information for
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



general knowledge. Furthermore, the information in a textbook may not reflect the current sta
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



ndard of care or individual state or hospital policies.

8. From the nurse‘s perspective, what measure should be the focus of the health care system to r
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



educe the rate of infant mortality further?
oa oa oa oa oa oa



a. Implementing programs to ensure women‘s early participation in ongoing prenatal oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



care
b. Increasing the length of stay in a hospital after vaginal birth from 2 to 3 days oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



c. Expanding the number of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



d. Mandating that all pregnant women receive care from an obstetrician oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa




ANS: A oa



Early prenatal care allows for early diagnosis and appropriate interventions to reduce the rate
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



of infant mortality. An increased length of stay has been shown to foster improved self-
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



care and parental education. However, it does not prevent the incidence of leading causes of in
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



fant mortality rates, such as low birth weight. Early prevention and diagnosis reduce the rate o
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



f infant mortality. NICUs offer care to high-
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa



risk infants after they are born. Expanding the number of NICUs would offer better access for
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa o



high-
a



risk care, but this factor is not the primary focus for further reduction of infant mortality rates.
oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa o



A mandate that all pregnant women receive obstetric care would be nearly impossible to enfo
