MULTIPLE CHOICES
1. When providing care for a pregnant woman, the nurse should be aware that one of the
most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors is:
a. Diabetes mellitus. c. Chronic hypertension.
b. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP). d. Anemia.
ANS: A
GENIUS
The most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors are diabetes and hypertension
associated with pregnancy. Both of these conditions are associated with maternal obesity. There
are no studies that indicate MVP is among the most frequently reported maternal risk factors.
Hypertension associated with pregnancy, not chronic hypertension, is one of the most frequently
reported maternal medical risk factors. Although anemia is a concern in pregnancy, it is not one
of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors in pregnancy.

a. Situation, baseline assessment, response
b. Situation, background, assessment, recommendation
c. Subjective background, assessment, recommendation
d. Situation, background, anticipated recommendation ANS: B
The situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) technique provides a specific
framework for communication among health care providers. Failure to communicate is one of
the major reasons for errors in health care. The SBAR technique has the potential to serve as a
means to reduce errors.

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH NURSING 6TH EDITION
Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care for
patients throughout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside is
one of the nurses tasks; however, it does not encompass the concept of the evolved professional
nurse. Throughout the prenatal period, nurses care for women in clinics and physicians offices
and teach classes to help families prepare for childbirth. Nurses also care for childbearing
families in birthing centers and in the home. Nurses have been critically important in developing
strategies to improve the well-being of women and their infants and have led the efforts to
implement clinical practice guidelines using an evidence-based approach. Maternity patients
have experienced a decreased, rather than an increased, length of stay over the past 2 decades.

4. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the
statistics for infant mortality, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?
GENIUS
a. Perform a nutrition assessment.
b. Refer the woman to a social worker.
c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.
d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
ANS: D
Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated
with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but a nutrition
assessment is not the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may
need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social
worker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has
