maternity care. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching session?

T T T T T T T
ANS: D T
As research began to identify the benefits of early, extended parent–infant contact, parents began to
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually developed into the practice of rooming-in and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
finallyto family-centered maternitycare. TheSheppard-Towner Act provided funds for state-
T T T T T T T T T T T T
managed programs for mothers and children but did not promote T T T T T T T T T
family-centered care. The changes in pharmacologic management oflabor were not a factor in T T T T T T T T T T T T T
family-centered maternity care. Family-centered care was a request by parents, not physicians.

ANS: C T
Inthe traditional hospitalsetting, the mother may see the infant for only short feeding periods, and the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
infant is cared for in a separate nursery. Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in parent–infant
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
contact. Home births allow the greatest amount ofparent–infant contact. The labor, birth, recovery,
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
and postpartumroomsetting allows for increased parent–infant contact.

Sleeping equipment is provided in a private room. A hospital setting is never a familiar environment
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
to new parents. An LDRP roomis not less expensive than a traditional hospital room. The baby
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
remains with the mother at all times and is not removed to the nursery for

4. Which nursing intervention is an independent function of the professional nurse?

a. Administering oralanalgesics T T
b. Requesting diagnostic studies T T

d. Providing wound care to a surgical incision T T T T T T
ANS: C T
Nurses are nowresponsible for various independent functions, including teaching, counseling, and
T T T T T T T T T T T
intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by the physician and carried out by the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oralanalgesics is a dependent function; it is
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
initiated by a physician and carried out by a nurse. Requesting diagnostic studies is a dependent
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
function. Providing wound care is a dependent function; however, the physician prescribes the type
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
of wound care through direct orders or protocol.

5. Which response by the nurse is the most therapeutic when the patient states, “I’m so afraid to

have a cesarean birth”? T T T

d. “The physician will be in later and you can talk to him.”
T T T T T T T T T T T
ANS: C T
Theresponse, “What concerns you most abouta cesarean birth” focuses on what the patient is saying and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
asks for clarification, which is the most therapeutic response. The response,
T T T T T T T T T T T
“Everything will be ok” is belittling the patient’s feelings. The response, “Don’t worryabout it. It T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
will be over soon” will indicate that the patient’s feelings are not important. The
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
response, “The physician will be in laterand you can talk to him” does not allow the patient to verbalize her
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
feelings when she wishes to do that.

Thethird step in the nursing process involves planning care forproblems that were identified during
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
assessment. The evaluation phase is determining whether the goals have been met.

7. Which goal is most appropriate for the collaborative problem ofwound infection?
T T T T T T T T T T T
a. The patient will not exhibit further signs of infection.
T T T T T T T T
b. Maintain the patient’s fluid intake at 1000 mL/8 hour. T T T T T T T T

T T T T T T T T T T
d. Monitorthe patient to detect therapeutic response to antibiotic therapy. T T T T T T T T T
ANS: D T
In a collaborative problem, the goal should be nurse-oriented and reflect the nursing interventions
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
ofmonitoring orobserving. Monitoring for complications suchas further signs of infection is an
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
independent nursing role. Intake and output is an independent nursing role. Monitoring a patient’s
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
temperature is an independent nursing role.

Interventions might not be carried out if they are not detailed and specific. “Force fluids” is not T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
specific; it does not statehow muchorhowoften. Encouraging the patient to turn, cough, and breathe
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
deeply is not detailed or specific. Observing interaction with the infant does not state how often this
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
procedure should be done. Assisting the patient to ambulate for 10 minutes within a certain

T T T T T T T T T T T
This response uses reflectionto showconcernand open communication. The otherchoices are blocks to
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
communication. Asking if the patient has a mother who can come and assist blocks further
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
communication withthe patient. Telling the patient to readthe literaturebefore leaving does not allow the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
patient to express her feelings further. Sharing your own birth experience is inappropriate.

10. The nurse is writing an expected outcome for the nursing diagnosis—acute pain related to tissue
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
trauma, secondaryto vaginal birth, as evidenced by patient stating pain of8 ona scale of10. Which
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
expected outcome is correctly stated for this problem?
T T T T T T T T
a. Patient will state that pain is a 2 on a scale of 10. T T T T T T T T T T T T
b. Patient willhavea reduction inpain after administration ofthe prescribed
T T T T T T T T T T T
analgesic.

c. Patient willstateanabsence ofpain 1 hour after administration oftheprescribed
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
analgesic.
T
d. Patient will statethat pain is a 2 on a scale of10, 1 hour after the administration of the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
prescribed analgesic.
T T
ANS: D T
The outcome should be patient-centered, measurable, realistic, and attainable and within a specified
T T T T T T T T T T T T
timeframe. Patient stating that her pain is now2 on a scale of10 lacks atimeframe. Patient having a
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
reduction in pain after administration of the prescribed analgesic lacks a measurement. Patient stating an
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
absence ofpain 1 hour after theadministration ofprescribed analgesic is unrealistic.

ANS: D T
The nurseshould determine whichproblem needs immediate attention. Risk for injury is the problem that
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
has the priority at this time because it is a safety problem. Risk for anxiety, imbalanced nutrition, and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
altered family processes are not the priorities at this time.
