Chapter 1, Perspectives on Maternal, Newborn, and Women’s Health Care
1. A group of nurses are discussing the reasons for the United States' low rankings for infant
and maternal mortality and what impact they could make on these mortality rates in their
practice. Which action could nurses implement to reduce these rates?
A. ensuring that all pregnant clients receive their immunizations
B. assuring early and adequate prenatal care
C. providing more extensive women's shelters
D. encouraging all women to eat a balanced diet
ANS: B
Rationale: The lack of prenatal care during pregnancy is a major contributing factor to a
poor outcome. Prenatal care is well known to prevent complications of pregnancy and to
support the birth of healthy infants. Infant mortality commonly includes problems occurring
at birth or shortly thereafter. Thus, assuring early and adequate prenatal care would have the
greatest impact on decreasing these rates. Receiving immunizations will help prevent some
infant diseases, but it does not have a major impact on overall maternal and infant mortality.
Providing more extensive women's shelters would be helpful for those women who have
experience intimate partner violence. Encouraging women to eat balanced diets helps, but it
does not prevent genetic factors that could be detected by ensuring early and adequate
prenatal care.

TOP: Chapter 1: Perspectives on Maternal, Newborn, and Women's Health Care
BLM: Cognitive Level: Apply NOT: Multiple Choice
2. When integrating the principles of family-centered care into the birthing process, the nurse
would base care upon which belief?
A. Birth is viewed as a medical event.
B. Families are unable to make informed choices due to stress.
C. Birth results in changes in relationships.
D. Families require little information to make appropriate decisions for care.
ANS: C
Rationale: Family-centered care is based on the following principles: Birth affects the entire
family, and relationships will change; birth is viewed as a normal, healthy event in the life
of the family; and families are capable of making decisions about their own care if given
adequate information and professional support.
PTS: 1 NAT: Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance
TOP: Chapter 1: Perspectives on Maternal, Newborn, and Women's Health Care
KEY: Integrated Process: Caring BLM: Cognitive Level: Apply
NOT: Multiple Choice
3. When preparing a teaching plan for a group of women during their first pregnancy, the nurse
reviews how maternity care has changed over the years. Which information would the nurse
include when discussing events occurring in the 20th century?
A. Epidemics of puerperal fever
B. Performance of the first cesarean birth
