Chapter 01: foundations of maternity, women’s health, and child health nursing
Multiple choice
1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to hospital births in the
early 20th century?
A. Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery.
B. Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births.
C. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
D. Technologic developments became available to physicians.
Ans>>d
Technologic developments were available to physicians, not lay midwives. So in-hospital births increased
in order to take advantage of these advancements. Puerperal sepsis has been a known problem for
generations. In the late 19th century, semmelweis discovered how it could be prevented with improved
hygienic practices. The development of forceps is an example of a technology advance made in the early
20th century but is not the only reason birthplaces moved. Unlike home births, early hospital births
hindered bonding between parents and their infants.

2. Family-centered maternity care developed in response to
A. Demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth.
B. The sheppard-towner act of 1921.
C. Parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them rather than in a nursery.
D. Changes in pharmacologic management of labor.
Ans>>c
As research began to identify the benefits of early extended parent-infant contact, parents began to
insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually developed into the practice of rooming-in and
finally to family-centered maternity care. Family-centered care was a request by parents, not physicians.
The sheppard-towner act of 1921 provided funds for state-managed programs for mothers and children.
The changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in family-centered maternity
care.
