present for support and notes that things have changed in the delivery room since she last
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll



gave birth in the early 1980s. Which current trend or intervention may the patient’s mother

Feedback
1 This is incorrect. Fetal monitoring during labor began in the late 1970s. As such,
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


this likely would have occurred during the mother’s labor and delivery during
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


the 1980s.
ll ll



2 This is incorrect. In the past, the average hospital postpartum stay was 10 days.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l ll ll


Presently, the average postpartum stay is 48 hours or less.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll



3 This is incorrect. In the past, expectant partners and families were excluded from
l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l ll ll ll



the labor and birth experience. Present trends involve the expectant partner and
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll



family in the labor and birth experience, including presence in the operating
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


room for cesarean births. ll ll ll



4 This is correct. Hospital support for breastfeeding, including a lactation
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


consultant and employment of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, were both
ll l ll ll ll ll l ll ll ll


enacted during the early 1990s.
ll ll ll ll ll

2. A patient with a historyof hypertension is giving birth. During delivery, the staff was not

delivery. This is an example of what type of death?
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll



1. Earlymaternal death l ll

direct obstetric death, and pregnancy-related death.
ll ll ll ll ll ll



2 This is incorrect. Late maternal death occurs 42 days after termination of
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


pregnancy from a direct or indirect obstetric cause.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll



3 This is incorrect. Direct obstetric death results from complications during
l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


pregnancy, labor, birth, and/or postpartum period. ll ll ll ll ll



4 This is correct. Indirect obstetric death is caused by a preexisting disease, or a
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l ll ll ll ll

3. The nurse is providing education to a patient who has given birth to her first child and is
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll

sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The patient had an uncomplicated pregnancy, labor,
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll



and vaginal delivery. She has a body mass index of 25 and has no other health conditions.

ll ll ll ll ll

ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


mortality, exogenous pulmonarysurfactant is primarilyused to reduce mortalityof
ll ll ll l ll ll l ll ll ll l


preterm infants.
ll ll



3 This is incorrect. The Baby-FriendlyHospital Initiative was developed to support

ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l ll



4 This is correct. The Back to Sleep campaign and the Safe to Sleep campaigns were
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll



designed to promote healthy infant sleeping habits. The decrease in SIDS from
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


1995 to 2015 was attributed to the Safe to Sleep campaign.
