1. The opening up of hospital visiting policies for children and families likely
r r r r r r r r r r r




resultedfrom the work of which individual?
r r r r r r




A. Joseph Brennaman r




B. John Bowlby r




C. Marshal Klaus r




D. JohnKennell r




r Answer: B r




Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his r r r r r r r r r




study that revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother because of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




hospitalization. His work led toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting policies for
r r r r r r r r r r r r r




children. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for infants contributed to high
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




infant mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and 1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus and John
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




Kennell carried out importantstudies on the effect of the separation of newborns and parents.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




They established that early separation may have long-term effects on family relationships and
r r r r r r r r r r r r r




that offering the new family an opportunity to be together at birth and for a significant period
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




after birth may provide benefitsthat last well into early childhood.

2. An expectant mother states that she read that more black mothers die in childbirth than do white
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




mothers. When responding to her questions about the reasons for this, the nurse accurately
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




states that which is the major reason for the high maternal mortality rate?
r r r r r r r r r r r r r




A. Having formal education. r r




B. Being unmarried. r




C. Income.
D. Lack of prenatal care. r r r




Answer: D r




Rationale: Research shows that maternal mortality rate is directly related to lack of prenatal care r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




secondary to lack of access to services or insurance. Income as well as educational level may
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




play a role in the availability of health care, but they are not directly responsible. Being
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




unmarried has no bearing on infant mortality.

3. Which statement correctly defines the term "infant death rate"? r r r r r r r r




A. number of deaths in utero of fetuses 500 g or more per 1,000 livebirths r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




B. number of deaths occurring in the first 28 days of life per 1,000 livebirths r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




C. number of deaths occurring at birth or in the first 12 months of life per1,000 live births r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




D. death of a live-born child before his or her firstbirthday.
r r r r r r r r r r




Answer: D r




Rationale: The term infant death refers to the death of a live-born child before he or she reaches
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




rage 1 year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal mortality rate is the number of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




infant deaths during the first 28 days of life for every 1,000 live births. Infant mortality rate is the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




number of deaths during the first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births. Question format: Multiple

4. The nursing instructor is preparing to teach a group of students about the history of maternity care. What
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing the practice of maternity
r r r r r r r r r r r r r




care in the United States over the past century?
r r r r r r r r r




A. technologic advances and the use of forceps by primary care providers r r r r r r r r r r




B. development of anesthesia and acceptance of the germ theory r r r r r r r r




C. advent of birthing centers and the development of family-centered care r r r r r r r r r




D. development of pediatric specialty and replacement of midwives as primary birth attendants r r r r r r r r r r r




r Answer: B r




Rationale: The emphasis should be placed on anesthesia and the germ theory. The development of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth; the germ theory advanced the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




progress of general health care and decreased infections in laboring women. Pediatrics as a
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




specialty is an important step forward but is not the greatest development, and midwives are
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




still in practice. Maternity care continues to evolve, and birthing centers are still under
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




development. Forceps are not considered an advance in maternity care.

5. When preparing a client for surgery, the nurse explains that the use of an antiseptic during the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




surgery has greatly improved client survival rates and was started by which physician?
r r r r r r r r r r r r r




A. Louis Pasteur r




B. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis r r




C. Joseph Lister r




D. AlexanderGordon r




r Answer: C r




Rationale: Joseph Lister was a British surgeon who embraced Louis Pasteur's theory of r r r r r r r r r r r r




microorganisms as the cause of infection. Lister used carbolic acid as an antiseptic during
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




surgery and improved the survival rates of his patients. Alexander Gordon proposed the theory of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




infection. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ignaz Philip Semmelweis confirmed his theory.

6. A young couple are very excited to learn they are expecting their first child and question the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




nurse about which test they need to discover its gender. Which procedure will best provide this
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




information to the couple?
r r r r




A. Ultrasound
B. Amniocentesis
C. Chorionic villus sampling r r




D. HGP

Answer: A r




Rationale: Ultrasound is a visual method for assessing the fetus in the uterus and will provide
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




information about the gender. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling provide the entire genetic
r r r r r r r r r r r r r




rcode of the fetus. HGP refers to the Human Genome Project, which can provide information
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r




rregarding gene mutations and variations. r r r r
