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




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




A. Joseph Brennaman m




B. John Bowlby m




C. Marshal Klaus m




D. John Kennell m




Answer: B
m m




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




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




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




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




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




mJohn Kennell carried out importantstudies on the effect of the separation of newborns and
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




mparents. They established that early separation may have long-term effects on family
m m m m m m m m m m m




mrelationships and that offering the new family an opportunity to be together at birth and for
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




ma 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
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




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




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




A. Having formal education. m m




B. Being unmarried. m




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




Answer: D m




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




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




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




Being unmarried has no bearing on infant mortality.

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




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




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




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




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




Answer: D m




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




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




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




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 care.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




What major development will the instructor emphasize as greatly influencing the practice of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




mmaternity care in the United States over the past century?
m m m m m m m m m




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




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




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




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




Answer: B
m m




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




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




the progress of general health care and decreased infections in laboring women. Pediatrics as
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




a specialty is an important step forward but is not the greatest development, and midwives
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




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




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
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




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




physician?
m




A. Louis Pasteur m




B. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis m m




C. Joseph Lister m




D. Alexander Gordon m




Answer: C
m m




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




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




mduring surgery and improved the survival rates of his patients. Alexander Gordon proposed
m m m m m m m m m m m m




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




mhis theory.

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




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




provide this information to the couple?
m m m m m m




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




D. HGP

Answer: A m




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




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




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




information regarding gene mutations and variations.
