1. The openingupofhospital visiting policiesfor childrenand families
j j j j j j j j j j
likely resultedfrom the work of which individual?
j j j j j j j
A. Joseph Brennaman j
B. John Bowlby j
C. MarshalKlaus j
D. JohnKennell j
Answer: B
j j
Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his j j j j j j j j j
study that revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother because of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
hospitalization.His work ledtoare-evaluationandliberalization ofhospital visiting policiesfor
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
children. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for infants contributed to high infant
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and 1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus and John Kennell
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
carried out importantstudies on the effect of the separation of newborns and parents.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
They established that early separation may have long-term effects on family relationships and that
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
offering the new family an opportunity to be together at birth and for a significant period after birth
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
may provide benefitsthat last well into early childhood.

2. An expectant mother statesthat shereadthat more black mothers die in childbirththan do white
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
mothers. When responding to her questions about the reasons for this, the nurse accurately states
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
that which is the major reason forthe high maternal mortality rate?
j j j j j j j j j j j j
A. Havingformaleducation. j j
B. Being unmarried. j
C. Income.
D. Lack ofprenatalcare. j j j
Answer: D j
Rationale: Research showsthat maternal mortalityrateisdirectlyrelatedtolack ofprenatal care
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
secondary to lack of access to services or insurance. Income as well as educational level may play a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
role in the availability of health care, but they are not directly responsible. Being unmarried has no
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
bearing on infant mortality.

B. number ofdeaths occurringin the first28 days of life per 1,000 livebirths j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

Answer: D j
Rationale: The term infant death refers to the death of a live-born child before he or she reaches age 1
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal mortality rate is the number of infant deaths
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
during the first 28 days of life for every 1,000 live births. Infant mortality rate isthe number of deaths
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

4. The nursing instructor is preparing to teach a group of students about the history of maternity care.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
What major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing the practice of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
maternity care in the United States over the past century?
j j j j j j j j j j
A. technologicadvancesand the use offorceps by primary careproviders j j j j j j j j j j
B. development ofanesthesia andacceptance ofthe germtheory j j j j j j j j
C. adventofbirthingcentersandthedevelopment of family-centeredcare
j j j j j j j j j
D. development of pediatric specialty and replacement of midwives as primary birth attendants j j j j j j j j j j j
j Answer: B j
Rationale:Theemphasis should beplaced onanesthesia and the germtheory.Thedevelopment of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth; the germ theory advanced the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
progress of general health care and decreased infections in laboring women. Pediatricsasa specialty
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
is an important step forward but is not the greatest development, and midwives are still in practice.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
Maternity care continues to evolve, and birthing centers are still under development. Forceps are not
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
considered an advance in maternity care.

5. When preparing a client for surgery, the nurse explains that the use of anantiseptic during
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
the surgery hasgreatly improved client survivalratesand wasstarted by which physician?
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
A. Louis Pasteur j
B. Ignaz PhilipSemmelweis j j
C. Joseph Lister j
D. Alexander Gordon j

j j j j j j j j j j j j
microorganisms as the cause of infection. Lister used carbolic acid as an antiseptic during surgery
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
and improved the survival ratesof hispatients. Alexander Gordon proposedthetheory of infection.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ignaz Philip Semmelweis confirmed his theory.

6. A young couple are very excited to learn they are expecting their first childand question the nurse
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
about which test they need to discover its gender.Which procedure will best provide this information
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
to the couple?
j j j
A. Ultrasound
B. Amniocentesis
C. Chorionicvillussampling j j
D. HGP
Answer: A j
Rationale: Ultrasoundis a visual method for assessing the fetusintheuterus and will provide
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
information aboutthe gender. Amniocentesisand chorionic villussampling provide theentire genetic
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
code of the fetus. HGP refers to the Human Genome Project, which can provide information
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
regarding gene mutations and variations.
