,Chapter 1: The Nurse's Role in a Changing Maternal–Child Health Care Environment
Hatfield: Introductory Maternity and Pediatric Nursing, 5th Edition

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



likely resultedfrom the work of which individual?
T T T T T T



A. Joseph Brennaman T



B. John Bowlby T



C. Marshal Klaus T



D. John Kennell T T




Answer: B T




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



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



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



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



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



and John Kennell carried out importantstudies on the effect of the separation of newborns
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



and parents. They established that early separation may have long-term effects on family
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



relationships and that offering the new family an opportunity to be together at birth and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



for a significant period 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
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



white mothers. When responding to her questions about the reasons for this, the nurse
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



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



A. Having formal education. T T



B. Being unmarried. T



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




Answer: D T




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



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



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



Being unmarried has no bearing on infant mortality.

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



A. number of deaths in utero of fetuses 500 g or more per 1,000 live births
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



B. number of deaths occurring in the first 28 days of life per 1,000 live births
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



C. number of deaths occurring at birth or in the first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



D. death of a live-born child before his or her first birthday.
T T T T T T T T T T




Answer: D T




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



reaches age 1 year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal mortality rate is the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



number of infant deaths during the first 28 days of life for every 1,000 live births. Infant
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



mortality rate is the number of deaths during the first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births.

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



care. What major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing the
T T T T T T T T T T T T



practice of maternity care in the United States over the past century?
T T T T T T T T T T T



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



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



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



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




Answer: B T




Rationale: The emphasis should be placed on anesthesia and the germ theory. The
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



development of anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth; the germ
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



theory advanced the progress of general health care and decreased infections in laboring
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



women. Pediatrics as a specialty is an important step forward but is not the greatest
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



development, and midwives are still in practice. Maternity care continues to evolve, and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



birthing centers are still under development. Forceps are not considered an advance in
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



maternity care. T

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



during the surgery has greatly improved client survival rates and was started by which
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



physician?
A. Louis Pasteur T



B. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis T T



C. Joseph Lister T



D. Alexander Gordon T T




Answer: C T




Rationale: Joseph Lister was a British surgeon who embraced Louis Pasteur's theory of
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



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



during surgery and improved the survival rates of his patients. Alexander Gordon proposed
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



the theory of infection. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ignaz Philip Semmelweis confirmed
T T T T T T T T T T T T



his theory.

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



question the nurse about which test they need to discover its gender. Which procedure will best
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



provide this information to the couple?
T T T T T



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



D. HGP

Answer: A T




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



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



genetic code of the fetus. HGP refers to the Human Genome Project, which can provide
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



information regarding gene mutations and variations.
