,Chapter 1 A Framework for Maternal and Child Health Nursing
1. For which reasons would a nurse review infant mortality statistics in the United States?
(Select all that apply.)
A) Measures the quality of pregnancy care
B) Reviews information on overall nutrition
C) Compares health with those of other states
D) Determines infant health and available care
E) Provides an index of the country's general health
Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Infant mortality statistics provide an index of a country's general health, measures the quality of
pregnancy care, provides information on overall nutrition, and determines infant health and
available care. Infant mortality statistics compares the health with those of other countries and not
with those of other states.
2. The nurse is providing care in an organization that supports the maternal and child care
continuum. Which type of patient care area is an example of this approach?
A) Primary care
B) Team nursing
C) Case management
D) Family-centered care
Ans: D
Feedback:
Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a family's functioning is
important to the health status of its members. A healthy family establishes an environment
conducive to growth and health-promoting behaviors to sustain family members during crises. A
family-centered approach enables nurses to better understand individuals and their effect on
others and, in turn, to provide more holistic care. Primary nursing, team nursing, and case
management do not necessary take into consideration the maternal and child care continuum.

health care? (Select all that apply.)

B) Teaches family members interventions to improve health
C) Adheres to principles that focus on the needs of the mother
D) Encourages maternal hospitalization to regain strength and stamina

Actions that the nurse should perform when supporting the goals of maternal and child health care
include advocating the rights for the mother and fetus, teaching health promotion interventions,
and assessing the family for strengths and specific needs or challenges. Adhering to principles that
focus on the needs of the mother and encouraging maternal hospitalization to regain strength and
stamina are not actions that support the goals of maternal and child health care.

these goals?
A) Health promotion and disease prevention
B) Early diagnosis of chronic health problems
C) Effective use of medication to treat disease
D) Reduce the cost of health care and medications Ans: A
Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goals are intended to help citizens more easily understand the
importance of health promotion and disease prevention and to encourage wide participation in
improving health in the next decade. These goals do not focus on the early diagnosis of chronic
problems, use of medications to treat disease, or reduce the cost of health care and medications.
5. The nurse has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal and child
health issues. What does the nurse realize as reasons for the changes in care? (Select all that apply.)
