MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse educator is teaching a group of nursing students about the history of
family-centered maternity care. Which statement should the nurse include in
the teaching session?
a. The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 promoted family-centered care.
b. Changes in pharmacologic management of labor prompted family-
centered care.
c. Demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth increased
the practice
of family-centered care.
d. Parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them rather
than in a
nursery initiated the practice of family-centered care.
ANSWER: D
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. The Sheppard-Towner Act provided funds for state-
managed programs for mothers and children but did not promote family-
centered care. The changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not
a factor in family-centered maternity care. Family-centered care was a
request by parents, not physicians.

2. Expectant parents ask a prenatal nurse educator, ―Which setting for
childbirth limits the amount of parent–infant interaction?‖ Which answer
should the nurse provide for these parents in order to assist them in
choosing an appropriate birth setting?
a. Birth center
b. Home birth
c. Traditional hospital birth
d. Labor, birth, and recovery
room
ANSWER: C
In the traditional hospital setting, the mother may see the infant for only
short feeding periods, and the infant is cared for in a separate nursery. Birth
centers are set up to allow an increase in parent–infant contact. Home births
allow the greatest amount of
parent–infant contact. The labor, birth, recovery, and postpartum room setting
allows for increased parent–infant contact.
