Chapter 1: Perspectives on Maternal and Child Health Care
1. The nurse is committed to promoting women's health aligned with the Healthy People 2030
goals. Which action applies these goals to address maternal health disparities?
A. advocating for policies that promote equal access to quality prenatal care for
people of all socioeconomic groups
B. implementing routine screenings for gestational diabetes and hypertension during
prenatal visits
C. collaborating with community organizations to organize educational sessions on
the benefits of breastfeeding
D. ensuring strict adherence to hospital protocols during labor to minimize
complications
ANS: A
Rationale: Advocating for policies that provide equal access to prenatal care aligns with the
systemic goals of Healthy People 2030 to address health disparities and promote health
equity. Implementing screenings for diseases focuses on individual health monitoring, not
disparities. Providing breastfeeding education and ensuring adherence to hospital policies
are important, but do not address health disparities.

2. The nurse is caring for a pregnant client seeking an abortion at an outpatient clinic. Which
response by the nurse applies ethical considerations and fosters the nurse– client
relationship?
A. "I want to have a conversation with you to understand your values and
preferences."
B. "I believe it is important to strictly follow hospital policies, regardless of your
personal beliefs."
C. "I recommend considering alternative options without discussing potential
emotional and physical implications."
D. "I advise you to proceed with the abortion, as it aligns with what is best for you."
ANS: A
Rationale: Having an open and nonjudgmental conversation with the client promotes trust
and fosters the nurse–client relationship. All the other statements place the nurse at the
center of the decision-making, when the client should be the one informed and allowed to
determine their course of treatment.
