1. The opening up of hospital visiting policies for children and familieslikely resultedfrom the work of which individual? A. Joseph Brennaman B. John Bowlby C. Marshal Klaus D. John Kennell Answer: B Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his study that revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother because of hospitalization. His work led toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting policies for children. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for infants contributed to highinfant mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and 1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus and John Kennell carried out importantstudies on the effect of the separation of newborns and parents. They established that early separation may have long-term effects on family relationships and that offering the new family an opportunity to be together at birth and for a significant period after birth may provide benefitsthat last well into early childhood.
