MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to hospital births in
the early 20th century?
a. Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery.
b. Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births.
c. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
d. Technologic developments became available to physicians.
ANSWER: D
Feedback
A Puerperal sepsis has been a known problem for generations. In the late 19th century,
Semmelweis discovered how it could be prevented with improved hygienic practices.
B The development of forceps to help physicians facilitate difficult births was a strong

operative procedures such a cesarean birth.
C Unlike home-births, early hospital births hindered bonding between parents and their
infants.
